However, your suggestion won't work: "$opt_i -I '$1'" using single quotes prevents $1 from being expanded at all. What you'd need to do is something like: "$opt_i -I \"$1\"" But I'm not sure if those doublequotes will be safe after multiple re-expansions as $opt_i is built and extended. This needs some testing. --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
