I know the following question is a dumb one, but I've tried to make a script working and I'm stuck. I'll try to isolate the problem as follows. I have a script which at some moment during the execution, needs to cd. So I assumed that the following would work: file_path='"/some/where/Test Folder/"' echo "$file_path" cd "$file_path" But surprise: it didn't. Every time I try to run it it gives me something like: $ ./cding.sh "/some/where/Test Folder/" ./cding.sh: line 5: cd: "/some/where/Test Folder/": No such file or directory $ although the Test Folder exist, is in the right path (/some/where/Test Folder) and it's permissions are 777. Any idea? TIA Calin Cosma --------------------------------------------------------------- Incearca acum noul sistem de dating oferit de portalul acasa.ro
