11 Just try it out ...
12
13 WORKDIR="SOME WORK DIR"
14 S=${WORKDIR}/SUBDIR
15 echo ${S}
16
17 Output: SOME WORK DIR/SUBDIR
18
19 ... and you will see that this works.
20
21 Although on the other hand you can't do ...
22
23 S=SOME WORK DIR/SUBDIR
24 echo ${S}
25
26 Output: -bash: WORK: command not found
27
28 ... or ...
29
30 S=${WORKDIR}/SUB DIR
31 echo ${S}
32
33 Output: -bash: DIR: command not found
34
35 ... as then things end up breaking as they are seen as commands.
36
37 It's up to you whether you use them or not; while "..." helps you spare
38 out on characters in some cases, in other cases not having them
39 requires you to define an extra variable. Depends on what you prefer...
