Displaying "* Testing" 1

[Ambatim]

Hi Gurus,

I have a shell script.

A="* Testing"
echo $A

If I execute this it lists all the files in the current directory, because of *. How to avoid this ?
I just want to display * Testing.

It works fine if I use echo "* Testing". But I cannot do that because the information I have to display will have to be in a shell variable for other uses in my script.

Any ideas ????


Thanks in advance
Mallik

Use [tt]echo "$A"[/tt].
