But read the man pages of sh. It will give you a better understanding. Look under the sections of QUOTING

Edit. Looks like the solution is already provided.

I dont think that this question falls under the "homework" category. The OP is not asking for a readymade solution for some problem - we get many more questions where the OP just asks "How do I..." without saying that they have actually done about it. This question refers to a single line in code that the OP has already written - I think that the doubt is legitimate, especially if you are new to scripting.
