The " " characters are not part of a command line argument; they are just lexical syntax processed by the shell, affecting how it tokenizes the command line, and also affects the semantics of certain expansions. For example, in a script or shell function, the syntax: "$@" will expand the arguments such that quotes are placed around each one. Thus that the command line structure is preserved when the result of the expansion is re-tokenized. The token "-abc" means exactly the same thing as -abc . _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
