Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Running a String as a command, zsh. Post 302181667 by drnkhmlck on Thursday 3rd of April 2008 02:21:02 PM

$FILES is created in this loop:

while read line; do
FILES+="${line/ /\ }"
done

So when I input the files: Photo 119.jpg and Photo 136.jpg

echo $FILES
Photo\ 119.jpg Photo\ 136.jpg

It is more that when the command is run instead of a set space delimitated file names there are single quotes around the list of files and so the command thinks they are all one file.

I noticed a similar thread that suggested doing:
echo $(command) | sh
Which did work.
