Subject: preserving single quotes
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2022 20:12:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b1f88f62-0dba-92df-d09d-9025c6846551@eastlink.ca> (raw)
I've done this before but I can't remember the invocation.
$ dd="echo howdy"
$ ee=$($=dd); echo $ee
howdy
$ dd="aptitude search '?name(libreoffice-java-common)'"
$ ee=$($=dd); echo $ee
$ (no output)
... I have to be able to run the aptitude command with the single quotes
intact. I've tried every little trick that's worked before but I'm just
not finding the magic.
