Hi.
I want to write a script which will nice ffmpeg whatever parameters it is
given - ie:
#!/bin/sh
nice ffmpeg $*
#
However, what if I have a file named `file one'
I would like to type `myscript -i file\ one output.whatever`
I do not want to change what I type - the script needs to be a drop-in
replacement for the ffmpeg command.
Is there any way to do make the script preserve the backslashed space ?
TIA
