Hi folks

 

I have a problem with files like: 'aaa bb (mail 4).txt'

When I try to use them in scripts as input files for db operations, I am 
getting errors even if I put files in a double quotes:

\"$file1\"

I was thinking to copy them to other files while removing 'bad' characters from 
their names, but I am still getting errors:

for k in *

do

F1=`echo $k|sed -e 's/[() ]//g'`

cp \"$k\" $F1

done

 

I get:

 

cp: target "aa_bb___mail_4_.sin.f1" must exist
Usage: cp [-acfimpPqrRSv] file1 [file2 ...] target
 
Any suggestions?
