Hi guys, Is there an easy way to untaint arguments in a bourne shell script? I am trying to prevent users from putting illegal characters such as backquotes enclosed in apostrophes. For instance:
localhost$ script-name arg1 "arg2 `rm -rf /*`" How do I simply extract arg2 without executing the illegal instructions? I know how to do this in Perl but not in Bourne shell script.
