Stupid spaces

Hello all.

I know the following question is a dumb one, but I've tried to make a
script working and I'm stuck.

I'll try to isolate the problem as follows.

I have a script which at some moment during the execution, needs to cd.
So I assumed that the following would work:


file_path='"/some/where/Test Folder/"'
echo "$file_path"
cd "$file_path"

But surprise: it didn't. Every time I try to run it it gives me
something like:


$ ./cding.sh
"/some/where/Test Folder/"
./cding.sh: line 5: cd: "/some/where/Test Folder/": No such file or
directory
$

although the Test Folder exist, is in the right path (/some/where/Test
Folder) and it's permissions are 777.

Any idea?

TIA

Calin Cosma
