Your problem is the blanks here. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I'm sure there's a "good" way to un-fsck bash here, but I usually don't |
| 21 |
care because this part of bash is so ugly and complex (read the doc and |
| 22 |
note how many "if"s there are ... special cases and more special cases). |
| 23 |
So I'd simply do it like this and be done for: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
menu="1 first\ one 2 second\ one" |
| 29 |
echo "MENU" 20 50 16 $menu | xargs dialog --menu |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Note the backslash-blank combination. |
