UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi, I am faily new to linux and bash scripting. But essentially what I am trying to do is create a small bash script that will automatically install a driver I want. I can do it manually but I want to create a script so I won't forget, since it is an internet driver I won't be able to get help when trying to install it on my computer unless I have another one nearby.

Anyways, what I want to do is first extract the driver from its zip archive. So I want the bash script to read the full path to the archive and unzip it. I so far have a prompt that says to drag the driver onto the terminal screen, and in doing so this stores the filepath (enclosed by single quotations) in the variable "ans".

So how do I parse the variable so that the single quotations are excluded when I run an unzip command on the variable?

Oh and here is my code...

Code:

clear
echo 'Drag the driver archive onto the Terminal screen and press enter'
echo 'e.g. "/home/MYUSERNAME/2010_01_28_RT2860_Linux_STA_v2.3.0.0_Alpha_v2.zip"'
read ans
#remove enclosing (') from ans
unzip -o $ans
