You could try something along the lines of: Thanks, that was helpful. It solved the original problem, anyway. However, it has the side effect of performing wildcard expansion on any '*' charecters that happen to be in the command line, even if they are single-qouted. As you can see from the script I posted in response to Sean, the program I'm using (duplicity), can take such an argument. Is there any way that I can simply include a litteral single quote charecter in a single-quoted string in bash? I tried escapeing them with a backslash, but that does not have the desired effect (as it would in perl).
