OT: quoting variable names in shell scripts
Consider the following shell script
$cat manual_listing.sh
#! /bin/sh
# stanza 1
for i in "kama" "raju" "k a m a" "r a j u"
do
echo $i
done
# stanza 2
names='kama raju'
for i in $names
do
echo $i
done
If I run this, I get
$./manual_listing.sh
kama
raju
k a m a
r a j u
kama
raju
I am wondering if there is a way to rewrite the names variable in stanza2
such that the output from stanza 1 and stanza 2 are the same.
thanks in advance
raju
