This is a really convoluted way of doing things, and you'd have to be a super expert in quoting to get this right. Instead, why don't you just have 2 variables, and pass them both, eg: MSG=csv FILENAME="my file with spaces" /path/to/soffice.bin --headless --convert-to "$MSG" "$FILENAME" Remember to quote both variables, so that if they have any spaces, the spaces are not accidentally seen as parameter separators, and instead get passed to the soffice.bin program.
