smaller sample from a larger script: i'm simply trying to copy files from one desktop directory on a mac to another using variables. when i first test the logic of the script without variables, everything works and the copy is effective.
but i'm unable to call the same copy by passing a variable. script runs as root, FYI. much obliged if you can weigh in. hoping it's just a syntax error that i'm missing.
i'm assuming that i've got a syntax error here but i can't see where. i use similar syntax in other scripts all the time...
thanks for whatever insight you might have to share.
