ikon,
that worked. can you or the others explain the syntax for me?
i'd used:
uVolume=`echo "$Volume" | sed 's/ /\\ /g'` and got no results
you suggested:
uVolume=`echo "$Volume" | sed 's/ /\\\ /g'` and i get exactly the results i wanted.
what does that extra "\" tell the code?

volmgt_running
volmgt_running(3VOLMGT) Volume Management Library Functions volmgt_running(3VOLMGT)
NAME
volmgt_running - return whether or not volume management is running
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lvolmgt [ library ... ]
#include <volmgt.h>
int volmgt_running(void);
DESCRIPTION
This function is obsolete. The management of removable media by the Volume Management feature, including vold, has been replaced by soft-
ware that supports the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). Programmatic support for HAL is through the HAL APIs, which are documented on the
HAL web site. See hal(5).
volmgt_running() tells whether or not Volume Management is running.
RETURN VALUES
volmgt_running() always returns 0 indicating Volume Management (as implemented by vold) is not running.
ERRORS
volmgt_running() will fail, returning 0, if a stat(2) or open(2) of /dev/volctl fails, or if any of the following is true:
ENXIO Volume Management is not running.
EINTR An interrupt signal was detected while checking to see if Volume Management was running.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using volmgt_running()
To see if Volume Management is running:
if (volmgt_running() != 0) {
(void) printf("Volume Management is running
");
} else {
(void) printf("Volume Management is NOT running
");
}
