I guess it's more of a filenames-with-spaces question. Would this work? |

INSTALL_MASK="Boyd\ -\ Convex Optimization.pdf" |

If you can escape the spaces, then the space-separated globs aren't |
| 16 |
ambiguous. I was thinking of something like this: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
$ /bin/ls B*\ Convex* |
| 19 |
Boyd - Convex Optimization.pdf |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Normally if you stick something like that in a quoted variable, its |
| 22 |
spaces can be unescaped: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
INSTALL_MASK="B* Convex*" |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
But now it's two globs instead of one. The whole thing makes sense if |
| 27 |
you can leave the space escaped though. |
