Passing argument containing space in shell script

Question

I need my script to be able to accept arguments with space characters. If, for example, I have a script as follows:

for SOME_VAR in $@
do
    echo \"$SOME_VA         


        

Answer 1

You must wrap the $@ in quotes, too: "$@"

This tells the shell to ignore spaces in the arguments; it doesn't turn all arguments into a very long string.
