Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Retain quotes from bash script arguments Post 302216164 by cypression on Friday 18th of July 2008 06:17:45 AM

Aha!
I don't why I didn't spot this thread before when I was searching, but one of the threads in the 'More UNIX and Linux Forum Topics You Might Find Helpful' section (https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...de-script.html) helped me solve it using a simple eval

So in the script, I now have:

----
#!/usr/bin/bash

commandToRun="$@"

eval "$commandToRun" ~/t.txt
----

I still have to run the command with the quotes escaped as zaxxon suggested, but at least it works now Smilie

> myscript.sh grep \"foo bar\"
