Consider this tiny script:
# script.sh
echo $@
If I call it like this ./script.sh ~/docs
, I get /home/me/docs
as output. However, I need it to echo ~/docs
. How can I achieve that?
CodePudding user response:
It's not under the script's control. It's up to the user. They must quote the tilde to prevent it from being expanded. Options include:
./script.sh \~/docs
./script.sh '~/docs'
./script.sh "~"/docs
