I am afraid you will not get very mush posts for we know almost nothing...
We dont have the slightest idea of your OS (Yes its important! ) and the shell you use, further more:

I was running 3 shell scripts by using system command and also passing arguments to the shell scripts from GUI script.

LESSECHO(1)						      General Commands Manual						       LESSECHO(1)

NAME
lessecho - expand metacharacters, such as * and ?, in filenames on Unix systems. SYNOPSIS
lessecho [-ox] [-cx] [-pn] [-dn] [-a] file ... DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the lessecho command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. lessecho is a program that simply echos its filename arguments on standard output. But any argument containing spaces is enclosed in quotes. OPTIONS
A summary of options are included below. -ox Specifies "x" to be the open quote character. -cx Specifies "x" to be the close quote character. -pn Specifies "n" to be the open quote character, as an integer. -dn Specifies "n" to be the close quote character, as an integer. -a Specifies that all arguments are to be quoted. The default is that only arguments containing spaces are quoted. SEE ALSO
less(1) AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Thomas Schoepf <schoepf@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). Less was written by Mark Nudelman <markn@greenwoodsoftware.com> LESSECHO(1)
