I'm trying to write a script to rip an album to wave files, encode
each wave file using oggenc, and move them to a specified directory.
In this script I have several variables, like $ALBUM to store the
album title and $TRACK01 to store the title of the first track.
Right now I've been using %20 to substitute for spaces, because
oggenc freaks out when I feed it a -t ${TRACK01} argument when
$TRACK01 is a string with spaces in it.
I read "man sh" and didn't find an escape code for a space, and I'm
not sure why I can't just use: export ALBUM="Ho Drakon Ho Megas".
I've attached a copy of the script, and would appreciate any help.
