Spaces in File Name issue
Hi,
I have a small issue while using variables for a file name in UNIX.
I have file name like "abc def 123.txt"
Folder will be in /zzz/xxx/yyy
I created 2 variables Folder = '/zzz/xxx/yyy'
file = 'abc def 123.txt'
While using this in grep command i am getting an error
i used like '$Folder"/"$file'
could u quote me where i am going wrong.I think small tweak will serve the purpose.
But i am missing it somewhere
Thanks in Advance,
San

NAME
face - executable for the Framed Access Command Environment Interface
SYNOPSIS
face [-i init_file] [-c command_file] [-a alias_file] [filename...]
DESCRIPTION
The Framed Access Command Environment Interface (FACE) presents your files and file folders on the screen through a system of menus and
forms if you are properly set up as a FACE user.
filename must follow the naming convention Menu.xxx for a menu, Form.xxx for a form, and Text.xxx for a text file, where xxx is any string
that conforms to the UNIX system file naming conventions. The Form and Menu Language Interpreter (FMLI) descriptor lifetime will be
ignored for all frames opened by argument to face. These frames have a lifetime of immortal by default. If filename is not specified on the
command line, the FACE Menu will be opened along with those objects specified by the
LOGINWIN environment variables. These variables are found in the user's .environ file.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a alias_file Alias file
-c command_file Command file
-i init_file Initial file
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
filename The full pathname of the file describing the object to be opened initially.
EXIT STATUS
The face command will return a non-zero exit value if the user is not properly set up as a FACE user.
FILES
$HOME/pref/.environ
