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

Re: how to pass arguments with space inside?

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: >> > On Thursday 09 April 2009 16:46:
