Having a terrible problem with quotes/single quotes!
Hello. I'm trying to write a bash script that uses GNU screen and have hit a brick wall that has cost me many hours... (I'm sure it has something to do with quoting/globbing, which is why I post it here)
I can make a script that does the following just fine:
test.sh:
A simple `screen -r blah` will show it worked well! I have a pretty hardstatus line that shows the hostname, windownames, and dates.
Now I want to wrap the screen commands into a Launch command...
test2.sh:
if you do a `screen -r blah`now...
Most everything worked - it created the "blah" screen session, and even created the "dummy" and "dummy 2" windows.. But look at the status line, its just a blank white bar!

itsme
$ ssh xxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx 'ITSME=itsyou; echo $ITSME'

Val & Rick(6) Val & Rick(6)NAME
val-and-rick - shooter game
DESCRIPTION
Val and Rick is probably the precursor to Gunroar, featuring similar controls but in a different environment. Only 2D sprites and back-
grounds are used in what seems like a tribute to Xevious and Star Soldier.
OPTIONS
These options are available:
-brightness n
Set the brightness of the screen.(n = 0 - 100, default = 100)
-luminous n
Set the luminous intensity.(n = 0 - 100, default = 50)
-nosound
Stop the sound.
-window
Launch the game in a window.
-fullscreen
Launch the game in fullscreen.
-res width height
Sets the resolution of the screen in pixels.
-nosound
-nowait
-accframe
USAGE
Press the Z key to shoot and hold down the X key to fix the direction of your aim.
A power-up icon in the shape of a tiny ship named Rick will appear if you collect enough blue orbs from defeated enemies, which is indi-
cated at the bottom left of the screen. This will cause your ship to go into hyperdrive, that is until all energy is spent or your space-
craft takes damage from enemy bullets. Each successful hyperdrive attempt increases the counter by another hundred.
The X key can also be used to drop bombs on grounded objects. Tap the P key to pause. The closer your ship is to the top of the screen, the
faster it scrolls.
