Hi,



My script to add a new user is below, written on solaris 10.



Running it using either of these two ways (one with double quotes
around the second parameter and one with single quotes):

./adduser.sh TestAcct "John Smith" Law

./adduser.sh TestAcct 'John Smith' Law

My script thinks I have entered four parameters.



But when I run it using the following (with no embedded spaces):

./adduser.sh TestAcct JohnSmith Law

It then thinks I have entered three parameters.



How do I get a parameter that has embedded spaces to register as just
one parameter??



Thanks for any help,

Regina
