Full Discussion: Passing Parameter containing space in between to Shell Script

Execute script as:
Code:
a.sh 20110114 "b c d"

And pass 2nd argument in quotes to sql proc:
Code:
<sql_proc> "$2"

But not very sure about sql procedure. If above doesn't work, then you may do following:
remove spaces from your input(replace space with some character say underscore, or something else which should be part of real value)
Then pass your modified argument (without space) to sql procedure.
Then in sql proc, read this value and convert underscore back to space.
Like:
Code:
var=$(echo "$2" | sed "s/ /_/g")

Now pass $var to sql proc (And conver _ back to space in sql proc)
