Sorry. I won't top post again. I tried your way but ARG_OPTS only accept the first argument and ignore the rest. Mike Frysinger wrote: > > On Thursday 09 April 2009 17:47:59 lehe wrote: >> Thanks Mike. > > please do not top post > >> Mike Frysinger wrote: >

0 -v 0' or --options="-t 0 -v 0" without quoting could be passed successfully as argument. Hope that I could explain my question clearly enough. Really appreciate your advice! lehe wrote: > > Thanks Mike. > Could you explain it a little? I don't quite get it. How t

Thanks Mike. Could you explain it a little? I don't quite get it. How to apply this to argument parsing? Mike Frysinger wrote: > > On Thursday 09 April 2009 16:46:27 lehe wrote: >> I was wondering how to pass arguments with space inside. For example, my >> bash script l

how to pass arguments with space inside?

Hi, I was wondering how to pass arguments with space inside. For example, my bash script looks like: #!/bin/bash ARG_OPTS="" while [[ -n "$1" ]]; ARG_OPTS="${ARG_OPTS} $1" shift done If I pass an argument like "--options='-t 0 -v 0'", then it would be splitted by the spaces ins

Sorry, Bob, it's my bad. ${HOME} in my previous posts were not described consistently. Actually my $HOME on my office server is "/cis/home/tingli". "'/cis/home/tingli/bin/bash-3.2.48/bin/bin/bash'" is actually where my new bash executable lies in the server (the double bins were left from my sill

Install Bashdb and Bash not as root

Hi, I have no root access to a server, so I can only install bashdb under my $HOME. Unfortunately bashdb requires Bash 3.1 or 3.2 but the bash on the server is version 3.00.15. So I first installed bash 3.2 under my $HOME/bin/bash-3.2.48 /bin/ from its source. Then I run configuration of dashdb a
