Hello, I've got a script that does the following: JAVA=/usr/bin/java JAVA_W_CLASSPATH="$JAVA -cp \"$classpath\" " $JAVA_W_CLASSPATH com.choicestream.foo echo $JAVA_W_CLASSPATH
I've noticed that on different versions of bash, it behaves differently. Bash 3.0 will execute: /usr/bin/java -cp "/path/to/classes" com.choicestream.foo And display the same. But Bash 3.1 and 3.2 put single quotes around the double quotes when executing. /usr/bin/java -cp '"/path/to/classes"' com.choicestream.foo But it will display: /usr/bin/java -cp "/path/to/classes" com.choicestream.foo I don't understand the reason for the discrepancy, and searching for "bash quotes" gives me a lot of bash.org nonsense.
