Need help with 2 similar commands with different outputs

NEVERMIND.... "$TIME" did the trick... stupid me. Smilie


Hi,

I know that this must be something pretty dumb but I cant figure it out myself.

I have this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
TIME="Time: 20120611"
FILE=file.log

grep $TIME $FILE

And I get the following output:
Code:
file.log:Time: 20120611
file.log:Time: 20120611
file.log:Time: 20120611
.
.
.

but when i run
Code:
grep "Time: 20120611" file.log

I get my expected output:

Code:
Time: 20120611
Time: 20120611
Time: 20120611
.
.
.

Why I get 2 different outputs when basically Im using the same command?

Thanks in advance
