Dear list,
this im my 'test.sh':
#!/bin/bash
for f in "$@" ; do
xcmd="unrar x"
$xcmd "$f"
done
Can please somebody explain, why, if I double-quote the "$xcmd"
variable in line 4, the script fails with
./test.sh: line 4: unrar x: command not found
???
Commands without parameters resp. whitespace (e.g. xcmd="unzip") work
fine when double-quoted; a web search (including the "GNU Bash manual"
[1]) did not shed any light on this mystery...
Thank you and libre Grüße,
Florian
