exec a build command (adduser) in a script

Hi,

With a awk script i create a "adduser line"

$ cat /tmp/tmp.ldif | awk -f ldif2adduser.awk
adduser --uid 1002 --gid 1000 --gecos "ROUSSIN Guy" --home /homeL/guy --shell /bin/bash --disabled-password guy

If i cut and paste this line, all is fine. But in a shell script i get errors :

# cat t.sh
#!/bin/bash
# ADDUSER=`cat /tmp/tmp.ldif | awk -f ldif2adduser.awk`
ADDUSER="adduser --uid 1002 --gid 1000 --gecos \"ROUSSIN Guy\" --home /homeL/guy --shell /bin/bash --disabled-password guy"
echo ${ADDUSER}
${ADDUSER}


# ./t.sh
adduser --uid 1002 --gid 1000 --gecos "ROUSSIN Guy" --home /homeL/guy --shell /bin/bash --disabled-password guy
Warning: The home dir /homeL/guy you specified already exists.
adduser: The user `Guy"' does not exist.


The problem is when there is spaces in --gecos param.

I tried some workaround but without success.

Thank you.

Guy

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
