since the question is about about Linux and bash, you can probably skip the page about quoting on non-Unix systems; the bash manual is what you want. Most of the time, putting the arguments in double quotes does what you want, e.g., `scriptname ... "${OPC_MSG_TXT}"` [download] will ensure that whatever $OPC_MST_TXT expands to ends up as a single positional parameter	[reply] [d/l]
