Question

I have a variable
android=”/media/New Volume_/android-sdk-linux_86″

I get an error saying that it cannot find the directory

I changed it to android=”/media/New\ Volume_/android-sdk-linux_86″

I still get the same error. I even tried

android=”/media/’New Volume_’/android-sdk-linux_86″
and I am using “$android” everywhere …

I am not able to find the error, can someone help me..

Thanks

Take it this is bash? You assign variables with spaces like this:

android="/media/New Volume_/android-sdk-linux_86"

(Note you don’t use the $ notation when setting a value.)

And reference them like this:

cd "$android"
