How to store a path with white spaces into a variable in bash

Question

I want to store /c/users/me/dir name into a variable to pass it to cd system call.

Works when typing:

$ cd \'/c/users/me/dir

Answer 1

While using a bash variable you should double-quote it to preserve its state.

x='/home/ps/temp/bla bla'
 cd $x      ### <----used without double quotes. 
sh: cd: /home/ps/temp/bla: No such file or directory


 cd "$x"    ### <---While using a bash variable you should double-quote it to presever its state.
 pwd
/home/ps/temp/bla bla
