Hello! I hope this place is ok to ask this question. I am using Fedora 8. Example: #!/bin/bash COMMAND='ls "test dir 1"' $COMMAND #have tried $($COMMAND), '$COMMAND' It always cuts it in half at the spaces. Error msg: ls: cannot access "test: No such file or directory ls: cannot access dir: No such file or directory ls: cannot access 1": No such file or directory What am i not seeing? thanks in advance -T -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
