read files with blank lines from stdin

[sfu]

Hi all,

I wanted to know how you can avoid problems when reading from stdin, when the file name is like:
./mydir/my resume
This is interpedet by the shell as two files and my shell script outputs an error message.

I tried several differnt ways, such as:
"'$myVariable'"
"\"$myVariable\""
""$myVariable""
Unfortunately without success...

Anybody has a solution to that ?

Thanks!

Could you give us a code snippet so we know what exactly you're trying to do? That'll make it easier to suggest a solution.

This should work in most situations:

"${myVariable}"

Thanks Ygor, it works perfectly with your solution!
