如何将带有空格的目录作为参数传递给函数？

Question

I am writing a shell script that will navigate to a specified directory on my computer multiple times through the use of a function, and one of the directories that is specified has two words, and therefore contains whitespace.

I have used cd "$1".. for the arguments passed in. I have also tried cd "$@" and actually replacing the variable with the actual directory name surrounded by quotes, and the error persists.

function Navigate()
{

    cd ~
    cd "$1"
    cd "$2"
    cd "$3"
    open $PWD

}

Navigate "Directory1" "Directory2" "Directory3"

I keep getting an error message that is showing that the directory can not be found.

Example: If the 2nd directory was named test directory , the error message would show:

/Users/Name/Directory1/test and /Users/Name/Directory1/test Directory/Directory3/Directory3 do not exist

Answer 1

function Navigate()
{

    cd ~
    cd "$1"
    cd "$2"
    cd "$3"
    open "$PWD"

}

Put quotes around $PWD as shown above and it will work just fine.

When you say open $PWD , it expands into open first_word_of_dir_name second_word_of_dir_name . This causes open to get two arguments, both invalid.
