[mythtv-users] User jobs - bash way to handle spaces in title ?

[Jerry Bett]

This may be more of a bash question than a myth question ... if so, forgive
me.

I have a user job  that encodes shows for my Palm TX ... run as :

            palmencode $FILE% "$TITLE%" "%SUBTITLE%"

 'palmencode' is a bash script inputing the command line as $1, $2 and $3

However, if %TITLE% has a space in it, my script only reads to the first
space despite the
enclosing quotes  around %TITLE% and %SUBTITLE%.

So, encoding "The Omega Man"   gives me "The-Omega.avi"  (Omega is seen as
the
%SUBTITLE%).

How can one get the full title with spaces and other special characters ?
