I have a script which I call and pass a text string to it. This string is then is assigned to a variable in the script. I then call another script and pass that variable to the second script, but when I do, the quotes are lost and the second script gets a total of three variables 'my', 'lovely' and 'string' instead of one whole "my lovely string".
Quote:
./script1.sh "my lovely string"
script1.sh
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
var1=$1
echo var1 is $var1
./script2.sh \"$var1\"
script2.sh
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
if [ ! "$1" = "" ]
then
echo var1 is $1
fi
The whole sequence when run in debug mode looks like this:
Quote:
sh -x script1.sh "testing my changes"
+ var1='testing my changes'
+ echo var1 is testing my changes
var1 is testing my changes
+ ./script2.sh '"testing' my 'changes"'
var1 is "testing
Note the extra single quotes in when script2.sh is called. So my question is is there a way to preserve my original string as a whole while passing it on to script2.sh? An alternative would be to replace spaces with underscores, but that would be lame and I'd like to be able to support spaces in the string. Any pointers are appreciated.

script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
ATTRIBUTES

script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
