This question already has an answer here:
Why does my shell script choke on whitespace or other special characters?
4 answers
I am trying to run aws create lambda function. It goes as follows -
eval $(aws lambda create-function
--function-name $FUNCTION_NAME
--runtime $RUNTIME
--role $ROLE
--handler $HANDLER
--region $REGION
--zip-file $ZIP_FILE
--profile $PROFILE
--environment $env_variables)
All the variables come from command line. It is failing for env_variables. This gets constructed as -
env_variables="Variables=INPUT=$DAYS"
where DAYS is actually "20 days"
How can I avoid this space and pass my command successfully.

Finally following worked -
env_variables=""Variables":"INPUT":"$DAYS""
lambda_create_command="aws lambda create-function --function-name $FUNCTION_NAME --runtime $RUNTIME --role $ROLE --handler $HANDLER --region $REGION --zip-file $ZIP_FILE --profile $PROFILE --environment '$env_variables'"
echo "Executing command : $lambda_create_command"
eval $lambda_create_command
Important points -
- Quotes in
env_variables - Use of
eval - Single quote in command string i.e
$env_variables
