How can I pass special characters [eg. " or ( or &

2019-01-20 13:01发布

I got one error while passing the arguments to outlook_DataParsing.sh:

$ sh outlook_DataParsing.sh delete node doc('/opt/ws40/contacts.xml')//Directory/Contacts/Contact[@id='22222']

and I am reading all the arguments as:

str=$@

The error is following:

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

Can anybody help me?

There are a number of "special" characters in a shell command, including $()[]

Most of these can simply be passed by enclosing the parameter in double quotes

foo "(hello)[]"

This however will not fix the $ sign, as it is intended for variables. You can instead use single quotes to pass a $ sign

foo '$im_not_a_variable'

If all else fails, ANY character can be escaped with a backslash \ including a space (no quotes needed)

foo \(hello\)\[\]\ \$im_not_a_variable
