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

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?
That script is really just a reduced and obfuscated equivalent to what my full script is doing- it's building each part of that command piece by piece, including the parameter list, which is parsed elsewhere. When I run it in my shell script like
it fails because if any of the parameters are strings that are like 'string one', the spaces are overwritten sometime in the process into commas.
I've found a solution: change the default IFS temporarily when I run that command, and it works.
Edit: You're right, scrutinizer! It took me some time looking it up but that was the solution, yeah.
I want to run commands inside a bash script.
An example is
I want to pass the command in a string as regexp as an argument to the script, then run sed on the bash variable
sed.sh regexp
sed.sh "-i \"s/<p>//g\""
then call
sed "$regexp" $fl (3 Replies)
