How to handle the - in building a command in the sh script
Ok
i think i am hopefully focusing in on where the problem is.
when i print out $coffee_out at the end and look at it in a hex editor
the line looks like
splitmovie ...splitAt 3 ...self...contained ...o sdfsf.mov recode.mov.
Yet if i write it out by hand i get
splitmovie -splitAt 3 -self-contained -o sdfsf.mov recode.mov
It looks like i am not handling the - properly in the script
Any pointer would be gratefully appreciated
many thanks
michael

recode
RECODE(1) FSF RECODE(1)
NAME
recode - manual page for recode 3.6
SYNOPSIS
recode [OPTION]... [ [CHARSET] | REQUEST [FILE]... ]
DESCRIPTION
Free `recode' converts files between various character sets and surfaces.
If a long option shows an argument as mandatory, then it is mandatory for the equivalent short option also. Similarly for optional argu-
ments.
Listings:
-l, --list[=FORMAT]
list one or all known charsets and aliases
-k, --known=PAIRS
restrict charsets according to known PAIRS list
-h, --header[=[LN/]NAME]
write table NAME on stdout using LN, then exit
-F, --freeze-tables
write out a C module holding all tables
-T, --find-subsets
report all charsets being subset of others
-C, --copyright
display Copyright and copying conditions
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
Operation modes:
-v, --verbose
explain sequence of steps and report progress
-q, --quiet, --silent
inhibit messages about irreversible recodings
-f, --force
force recodings even when not reversible
-t, --touch
touch the recoded files after replacement
-i, --sequence=files
use intermediate files for sequencing passes
--sequence=memory
use memory buffers for sequencing passes
-p, --sequence=pipe
use pipe machinery for sequencing passes
Fine tuning:
-s, --strict
use strict mappings, even loose characters
-d, --diacritics
convert only diacritics or alike for HTML/LaTeX
-S, --source[=LN]
limit recoding to strings and comments as for LN
-c, --colons
use colons instead of double quotes for diaeresis
-g, --graphics
approximate IBMPC rulers by ASCII graphics
-x, --ignore=CHARSET
ignore CHARSET while choosing a recoding path
Option -l with no FORMAT nor CHARSET list available charsets and surfaces. FORMAT is `decimal', `octal', `hexadecimal' or `full' (or one
of `dohf'). Unless DEFAULT_CHARSET is set in environment, CHARSET defaults to the locale dependent encoding, determined by LC_ALL,
LC_CTYPE, LANG. With -k, possible before charsets are listed for the given after CHARSET, both being tabular charsets, with PAIRS of the
form `BEF1:AFT1,BEF2:AFT2,...' and BEFs and AFTs being codes are given as decimal numbers. LN is some language, it may be `c', `perl' or
`po'; `c' is the default.
REQUEST is SUBREQUEST[,SUBREQUEST]...; SUBREQUEST is ENCODING[..ENCODING]... ENCODING is [CHARSET][/[SURFACE]]...; REQUEST often looks
like BEFORE..AFTER, with BEFORE and AFTER being charsets. An omitted CHARSET implies the usual charset; an omitted [/SURFACE]... means the
implied surfaces for CHARSET; a / with an empty surface name means no surfaces at all. See the manual.
If none of -i and -p are given, presume -p if no FILE, else -i. Each FILE is recoded over itself, destroying the original. If no FILE is
specified, then act as a filter and recode stdin to stdout.
