How to get bash to insert ' in the output
- by ~danieljamesthomas
Hi everybody,
I'm rather new to bash, and somehow just haven't found out what I'm doing wrong here:
(this is a small bash script calling my generator)
if [ -n $folder ]; then
$zorbalocation -q $generator -f -e files=\"$lFiles\" -e folder=\"lFolder\"
else
$zorbalocation -q $generator -f -e files=\"$lFiles\" -e folder=\".\"
fi
Now, obviously I want bash to execute these commands, depending on the content of folder.
But, for some reason, bash insists on putting apostrophes ( ' ) around files=... and folder =...
So, it tries to execute
../../../zorba/build/bin/zorba -q generator.xq -f -e 'files="test.xqlib"' -e 'folder="."'
instead of
../../../zorba/build/bin/zorba -q generator.xq -f -e files="test.xqlib" -e folder="."
Does anybody know why bash insists on inserting the apostrophes there?
A nice day to everyone
Danny
