-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to zzapper on 10/24/2005 6:56 AM: Please convince your mailer to send text files with a text mime-type, not application/octet-stream. Reposting here for convenience: #!/bin/bash # jraynersqlzip # description : backup Mysql using sja.exe # date 21Mar05 # v1.0 dirbackup="c:/backup/farms/" eval filedate=$(date.exe '+%d%b%y') ls -l $dirbackup/jraynerscheduled.sql sjaprog="/sqlyog/sja.exe" sjaprog="c:/progra~1/SqlYog~2/sja.exe" sjaprog="/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/SQLyog\ Enterprise/sja.exe" sjascript="c:/cygwin/usr/local/bin/sql/jrayner.xml" "$sjaprog" "$sjascript" ls -l $dirbackup/ cp $dirbackup/jraynerscheduled.sql $dirbackup/jrayner$filedate.sql ls -l $dirbackup/jrayner$filedate.sql Here's your problem. foo="a\ b" puts 4 characters into $foo. On the other hand, foo=a\ b puts 3 characters into $foo. Also, foo='a b' puts 3 characterse into $foo. Until you have the correct contents in $sjaprog, then invoking "$sjaprog" will fail. If you really want 4 characters in $foo, then you need an eval to reparse the expansion. Learn how to properly use shell quotes - it will save you loads of headaches. $ echo 'echo hi' > ./a\ b $ foo="./a\ b" $ eval $foo hi $ foo="./a b" $ "$foo" hi - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
