How to pass strange path arguments to commands
I'm sending commands via stdin, how can I send path arguments in a safe manner?
E.g.
stat /some strange/p"atnh'/
fails because of the strange path. Could path be stored in a variable or other means and have it work? Or is there an easy way to escape these strange paths before sending them?
bash shell-script shell
