What is the chemical reaction of aspirin?

Can anyone write this out for me in a chemical equation?:

The alcohol group from the salicylic acid reacts with acetic anhydride, yielding aspirin and acetic acid as a byproduct

It would help me out alot, thanksss!!!

HOOC-C6H4-OH + CH3-CO-O-OC-CH3 -> HOOC-C6H4-OOC-CH3 + CH3COOH

Is that what you mean?
