Question variables Korn
I'm using the following command to test for certain characters in a script
echo "${1}" | grep '\$' if (( ${?} == 0 )) then testing this script on the command line I have ksh -x script1.sh "xxxx$xxxx" this works fine but when I want to use ksh -x script1.sh "xxxx $xxx" the interpreter tells me that the field is blank. Why? it dosen't like space how do I get around this? My script will be passed variables with spaces in them.

When passing arguments with special characters
for instance the "$" symbol, you should escape them assuming you wish them to be passed to the shell undisturbed. Otherwise, you command shell will try to interpret it first and pass those results to your script. try... ksh -x script1.sh "xxxx \$xxx"
