This question already has an answer here:
I'm getting started with bash scripting. I'm working with array elements that contain space characters. In the code below, the third array element is "Accessory Engine". I tried to set the space character using the \ symbol, but this doesn't help.
In the larger routine (not included here), I use the array elements to automatize some stuff with command line tools. Those command line tools would accept "Accessory Engine" as an input.
#!/bin/bash
components="Persistence Instrument Accessory\Engine"
for i in $components; do
echo ${i}
done
Now the output from this code is:
Persistence
Instrument
Accessory\Engine
But I want it to be:
Persistence
Instrument
Accessory Engine
How can I achieve that?
