[vdr] Re: OT: Shell script

[Karsten Müller <kmu@ratio.de>]

Try this:

script1.sh:

#!/bin/sh
# Variable $SRC has the complete string (including) "bad" characters
SRC="foo bar yugga yugga"
echo "${SRC}" >out1.txt
script2 "${SRC}"

script2.sh:

#!/bin/sh
# this is script2 !
echo "${1}" > out2.txt

player:~ # diff out1.txt out2.txt
player:~ #

Works perfect here...
