I'm using the following command to test for certain characters in a script
echo "${1}" | grep '\$'
if (( ${?} == 0 ))
then
testing this script on the command line I have
ksh -x script1.sh "xxxx$xxxx"
this works fine but when I want to use
ksh -x script1.sh "xxxx $xxx"
the interpreter tells me that the field is blank. Why?
it dosen't like space how do I get around this? My script will be passed variables with spaces in them.
