Hi, I have once again come upon bash problem I can't solve. I'm writing a little bash frontend and one of the programs expects a option that includes spaces and is composed from two other shell var's. Example:
#!/bin/bash A="Hello" B="Karsten" C=$A $B someprog --greeting $C Whatever I do now, --greeting receices only the "Hello" part. I've tried some other variants too: C="$A $B" C=\"$A $a\B" C='$A $B' C=$A\ $B C=`echo $A $B` What works is someprog --greeting "Hello Karsten" but that's no solution. Please help :-) Karsten -- Karsten Heymann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CAU-University Kiel, Germany Registered Linux User #221014 (http://counter.li.org)
