I'm writing a script that calls a program and specifies a specific font
for
that program to use. If I run this command directly from the command
prompt, it works:
echo "test" | osd_cat -p bottom -A center -i -800 -o 6 -f
-bitstream-bitstream\ vera\ sans-bold-*-*-*-30-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -c green -d 3
-S 2
Notice the \'s escaping the the spaces in the font name. I want to run
the
same command from a script using variables. If I do this, however, it
fails.
DISP=$1
OSD='osd_cat'
OSD_OPTS='-p bottom -A center -i -800 -o 6 -f -bitstream-bitstream\ vera\
sans-bold-*-*-*-30-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -c green -d 3 -S 2'
echo "$DISP" | $OSD $OSD_OPTS
Specifically, I get this error message:
$ xbinddisp.sh test
Unable to open: vera\
Probably not coincidently, I get the same error message if I run the
command
directly from the command prompt again WITHOUT the \'s. I tried no \,
single \, and double \ within the script, but nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions?
