pass arguments between shell scripts but retain quotes

Question

How do I pass all the arguments of one shell script into another? I have tried $*, but as I expected, that does not work if you have quoted arguments.

Example:

Answer 1

Use "$@" instead of $* to preserve the quotes:

./script2.sh "$@"

$*
All of the positional parameters, seen as a single word

Note: "$*" must be quoted.

$@
Same as $*, but each parameter is a quoted string, that is, the parameters are passed on intact, without interpretation or expansion. This means, among other things, that each parameter in the argument list is seen as a separate word.

Note: Of course, "$@" should be quoted.
