Linux bash script:
#!/bin/bash function Print() { echo $1 } var="*" Print $var
Execution results:
alex@alex-linux:~/tmp$ ./sample-script sample-script
*
is expanded to the list of files, which is actually script itself. How can I prevent this and see actual variable value? In general case, var
can be more complicated than *
, for example: home/alex/mydir/*
.

Answer
you need to escape your variables, too:
Print "$var"
And in your function:
echo "$1"
