Thank you very much! And contrary to my intuition, this is also
‘problematic’ when one just wants to pass ‘everything’ to another
script. To avoid further potential problems with Bash, I wrote a very
tiny Python script that will print out the command line arguments:
$ cat t.py
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
print sys.argv
This is then called from a bash script:
$ cat t.sh
#!/bin/bash
printf 'Using $*:\n'
~/t.py $*
printf 'Using $@:\n'
~/t.py "$@"
The result was rather surprising to me but is in agreement with your
earlier findings:
$ ./t.sh 1 2 "3 4" '5 6' "7 '8 ' 9"
Using $*:
['/home/claudius/t.py', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', "'8", "'", '9']
Using $@:
['/home/claudius/t.py', '1', '2', '3 4', '5 6', "7 '8 ' 9"]
Best regards, and, again, thank you very much,
Claudius
