  • Doors with 2 word handle

    From Tiny@21:1/130 to All on Sat Oct 19 13:32:56 2019
    Hello,

    In my doorparty script I use the following to get the users handle:

    HANDLE=$(sed '36q;d' ${DROPFILE} | tr -d '\r\n')

    This works fine for someone like me with a handle of "Tiny" what if my handle was "The Tiny" I need to convert it from "The Tiny" to "The_Tiny" so I can pass
    the handle
    to door party correctly. As it is now the script fails because the number of parameters is incorrect.

    Any ideas?

    Shawn

    I think I remember this problem. Try adding

    HANDLE=${HANDLE// /_}

    That's the magic. Thank-you!
