Because space is a hard delimiter in the code.
A workaround I use is to define a variable like so (But this does not always work)
spc=$(x) $(x)
Thanks for the note...but I think you misread my posting. I already pointed out that this:
filename=two\ words
works just fine. There's no need to resort to a $(spc) variable when a simple backslash escape will work. However, the problem for which I am not aware of a solution is when you have files with names like:
file one file two
And you want to perform wildcard expansion to get a list of these files:
files=$(wildcard file*)
This won't work.
