B20.1, NT4W/SP3
Suppose I have files such as the following:
/tmp/foo.exe
/tmp/fum
/tmp/New Folder/foo.exe
/tmp/New Folder/fum
where fum is a shell script. In bash 2.02, suppose w,x,y,z are variables set to each of these filenames.
Then
bash> "$w" # executes foo.exe
bash> "$x" # executes fum script
bash> "$y" # executes foo.exe
bash> "$z" # loses: /test/New: not found
(and incidentally z="/test/New\ Folder/fum" is no better)
I'm not sure whether this is a bash/ash issue or more profound, eg cygwin exec().
Any ideas?
