Bash- Command run from script does not pass full parameters with spaces inside
There's a JavaScript file that I call from command line (there's a framework) like so:

Code:
./RunDiag.js param1:'string one here' param2:'string two here'

I have a shell script where I invoke the above command. I can run it in a script as simple as this

Code:
#!/bin/bash

stuff="./RunDiag.js param1:'string one here' param2:'string two here'"
$stuff

When I run this within a script, the parameters are all truncated, each becoming 'string, instead of the entire parameter. Why? When I run this command from command line, no such thing occurs.

---------- Post updated at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:03 PM ----------

Having done more testing, it seems like that every time there's a space between items in the string, such as "string one", the spaces are converted into commas: string,one - any idea what might be causing this?

SYNOPSIS

       rhino-debugger [options] script_filename_or_url [script_arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the rhino-debugger command.  This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the origi-
       nal program does not have a manual page. It is written according to the html documentation.

       rhino-debugger is a start script for the rhino JavaScript debugger. The Rhino JavaScript debugger is a GUI that allows debugging of  inter-
       preted  JavaScript  scripts  run  in  Rhino. Note that this debugger will not work with JavaScript scripts run in the mozilla browser since
       Rhino is not the engine used in such environments.

OPTIONS

       -e script_source
	      Executes script_source as a JavaScript script.

       -f script_filename_or_url
	      Reads script_filename_or_url content and execute it as a JavaScript script.

       -opt, -O optLevel
	      Optimizes at level optLevel, which must be an integer between 0 and 9.

       -version versionNumber
	      Specifies the language version to compile with. The string versionNumber must be one of 100, 110, 120, 130, or 140.  See	JavaScript
	      Language Versions for more information on language versions.

       -strict
	      Enable strict mode.
