[20:34] <PatrickDickey> Hi everyone. I've got a quick question. I've created a script that sets up my bzr branch, and am running into an issue with the whoami command. Since the command is bzr whoami "My Name <myemail>", and I'm passing it a string value in my script, would I need quotes at all? In other words, would I use bzr whoami $name ?
[23:03] <maxb> PatrickDickey: You would need quotes to protect the spaces and < > characters from being interpreted as splitting the string into multiple arguments and redirection operators by the shell
[23:04] <PatrickDickey> Thank you maxb, would I want to do something like bzr whoami '"' $name '"' then?
[23:04] <maxb> erm, no
[23:04] <maxb> bzr whoami "$name"
[23:05] <maxb> (I'm assuming we're talking about Bourne shell here)
[23:06]  * maxb thanks the absent mbp to super-fast hydrazine code review
[23:20] <PatrickDickey> maxb, yes we are. And thank you. I'll put that in. :)
