We are currently experiencing a problem when trying to pass null parameters between shell scripts.
The situation is that the first shell script is passed a set of parameters (the number of parameters is variable). This shell script then calls another shell script with the same parameter list. This is done using $*. Everything is ok as long as all the parameters have a value. e.g.
a.sh "1" "2" "3" - results in b.sh getting the parameter list 1 2 3
a.sh "1" "" "3" - results in b.sh getting the parameter list 1 3
We need a way of preserving the null parameter being passed into the second shell script. Any Ideas ?
