Does anyone know how to go about escaping a "*" in a bash script?I want to do the following query=" select * from table where column1='something' "
Well one you can use different quotes: query='select * from table' Or you can \* it. query="select \* from table" Stepping away from bash and into MySQL for a second, why are you selecting *? See google for the debates :) Thanks Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
