Shell Programming and Scripting
bash, command line substitution

Much thanks, Corona. Eval did the trick.I can reformat the input before passing it to script B. But once the input is in a variable and passing the variable to script B - the elements get split on the space within the multi-word element. And it keeps the quotations. One element is
Quote:
"th
Quote:
ree"
Code:
myArray=("$@")But with eval it works as desired.
Am I missing something?
I was playing with the idea of substituting the quotations for other characters, and then converting the spaces between each set of quotations to yet another character! Messy.
I understand the danger of eval but for my purpose this shouldn't be a issue.

This site helps explain the details of why eval is necessary.
