bash - How to quote variables in a whiptail command with dynamic/conditional options? -


i need disable options in dialog command built in bash script. here original working script:

my_backtitle="this test" selected_options=($(dialog \     --backtitle "$my_backtitle" \     --separate-output \     --checklist "select options:" 0 0 \     "option1" "description of option 1" "" \     "option2" "description of option 2" "" \     3>&1 1>&2 2>&3))

then selected options directly in array.

in cases need disable of options. i've tried way:

my_condition=false my_backtitle="this test" dialog_parameters="--backtitle '" dialog_parameters+="$my_backtitle" dialog_parameters+="' --separate-output \     --checklist "select options:" 0 0 " if $my_condition     dialog_command+="'option1' 'description of option 1' '' " fi dialog_command+="'option2' 'description of option 2' ''" selected_options=($(dialog $dialog_parameters 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3))

but error: error: unknown option is.

with debugging set -e parameter, see dialog command after parameters expansion: dialog --backtitle ''\''this' 'test'\''' --separate....

how can quote correctly string containing spaces in case?

i've tried using \" around variable, , tried storing parameters in array of strings, did not solve problem.

how should write such parametrized dialog command?

you need use array, not string, hold individual arguments may contain whitespace.

my_condition=false my_backtitle="this test" args=(--backtitle "$my_backtitle") args+=(--separate-output) args+=(--checklist "select options:" 0 0) if $my_condition     args+=( "option1" "description of option 1" ) fi args+=('option2' 'description of option 2') selected_options=($(dialog "${args[@]}" 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3))

i'm running strange behavior powershell start-process call. here call: $process = start-process ` "c:\somepath\mybinary.exe" ` -passthru ` -credential $defaultcredential ` -wait ` -workingdirectory "c:\somepath" ` -loaduserprofile if ($process.exitcode -ne 0) { #do } this call return exit code - 1073741502 . after quick search, exit code seems related generic error when program not load required dll (aka. status_dll_init_failed ). when run without -credential $credential program runs correctly. in order isolate problem, manually launched some.exe in prompt target credential , runs smoothly. so problem seems come way start-process cmdlet launch process. i found potential solutions problem tried apply no luck : link , link . would have idea of what's going on here ? edit 1: run proc mon monitoring program activities when launched directly or via powershell script. problem seems occur when loading kernelbase
