Problem: expand quoted wildcards with space:
# find .
.
./dir 2
./dir 2/rcs
./dir 2/startup.lst
./dir1
./dir1/rcs
./dir1/startup.lst
./rcs
./startup.lst
# a="dir1/*"
# echo $a
dir1/rcs dir1/startup.lst
# echo "$a"
dir1/*
# b="dir 2/*"
# echo $b
dir 2/*
# echo "$b"
dir 2/*
# eval "echo \"$b\""
dir 2/*
What I want is expand $b to an bash array variable of { "dir 2/rcs", "dir
2/startup.lst" }, is it possible?
Thanks very much for any help.
