Auto escape script to escape special chars in script args
This is a bit off the wall, but I often need to run scripts where there are argument values that contain special characters.
For example,
It is tedious to manually escape everything and auto complete does not always solve this problem.
I was wondering if I could write a script and pass my entire command string to the script. I would keep the script in a path directory and the script would escape chars where necessary and then pass the string along to bash. The syntax could look like,
I think I could do the substitutions in sed, but I'm not sure how to capture everything after auto_escape and pass that to sed.
A bigger issue is how to keep the notion of pwd in tact. The pwd locations of process.exe and auto_escape will be different, so when bash recieves the string from the auto_escape script, I'm not sure how I could get bash to properly interpret ./, ../ etc, in terms of the original script location.
Hi,

g_clustsize
g_clustsize(1) GROMACS suite, VERSION 4.5.4-dev-20110404-bc5695c g_clustsize(1)NAME
g_clustsize - calculate size distributions of atomic clusters
VERSION 4.5.4-dev-20110404-bc5695c
SYNOPSIS
g_clustsize -f traj.xtc -s topol.tpr -n index.ndx -o csize.xpm -ow csizew.xpm -nc nclust.xvg -mc maxclust.xvg -ac avclust.xvg -hc
histo-clust.xvg -temp temp.xvg -mcn maxclust.ndx -[no]h -[no]version -nice int -b time -e time -dt time -tu enum -[no]w -xvg enum -cut real

DESCRIPTION
This program computes the size distributions of molecular/atomic clusters in the gas phase. The output is given in the form of an .xpm
file. The total number of clusters is written to an .xvg file.
When the -mol option is given clusters will be made out of molecules rather than atoms, which allows clustering of large molecules. In
this case an index file would still contain atom numbers or your calculation will die with a SEGV.
When velocities are present in your trajectory, the temperature of the largest cluster will be printed in a separate .xvg file assuming
that the particles are free to move. If you are using constraints, please correct the temperature. For instance water simulated with SHAKE
or SETTLE will yield a temperature that is 1.5 times too low. You can compensate for this with the -ndf option. Remember to take the
removal of center of mass motion into account.
The -mc option will produce an index file containing the atom numbers of the largest cluster.
