Hi! I try to escape blankspace in filenames by using backslash First, i'm test sed expression: $ sed 's/ /\\ /g' long file name long\ file\ name
this ok. second, include this sed expression in sh command substitution: $ filename=`echo "long file name" | sed 's/ /\\ /g'` ; echo $filename long file name with csh all ok, but with Bourne not. is this bug or feature? i'm searched in google and only found different instructions about escaping variables by hand... Thanks! P.S. Sorry for possible offtopic. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
