Trick to ignore space in folder name
Hello All,

I am getting error while passing a folder name that has space to the cmd line argument.

sh log_delete2.sh "/home/kumarpua/TESTARTIFACTS/atf-chix/ATF-subversion-dev/ssenglogs/A RM"

log_delete2.sh: line 17: cd: /home/kumarpua/TESTARTIFACTS/atf-chix/ATF-subversion-dev/ssenglogs/A: No such file or directory
expr: non-numeric argument

ls: /home/kumarpua/TESTARTIFACTS/atf-chix/ATF-subversion-dev/ssenglogs/A: No such file or directory



Can any one pls suggest how to ignore the space in folder name.....

Regards,
Pulkit

       messages,  or a range of messages. If the top of the range that you specify is greater than the last message in the folder, mhpath displays
       as much of the specified range as possible.

       Additionally mhpath can take a keyword or a sequence name. The following keywords are acceptable: The first message  in	the  folder.   The
       last  message in the folder.  The message after the last message in the folder. You cannot use new as part of a message range.  The current
