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 Smilie

NAME
pam_mount -- Home Folder Mounting PAM module SYNOPSIS
[service-name] function-class control-flag pam_mount [options] DESCRIPTION
The Home Folder Mounting PAM module supports the authentication and session management function classes. In terms of the function-class parameter, these are ``auth'' and ``session'' respectively. The Home Folder Mounting Authentication Module The Home Folder Mounting authentication module reads the mount authenticator from the PAM authentication context and caches it in the PAM environment. The Home Folder Mounting Session Management Module must be used in conjunction with this module to remove the authenticator from the PAM environment. The Home Folder Mounting Session Management Module The Home Folder Mounting session management module copies the mount authenticator from the PAM environment, removes it from the PAM environ- ment, and uses its copy to mount the user's home folder if the user's OpenDirectory record indicates that an AFP, SMB, NFS or FileVault home folder is to be used. When the session is closed, the Home Folder Mounting session management module unmounts the user's home folder if it was mounted by this mod- ule when the session was opened. SEE ALSO
