$1 with spaces

[lolcese]

I wrote a very small script called gr with one parameter passed from bash:

grep -nri $1 *

Works well, but if the argument contains a space, the result is wrong. I tried to call using quotes gr "aaa bbb", but the space is the problem.
Any idea about what can I do?
Thanks

You need to quote your actual argument, somewhat like the following:

yourscript.sh "first argument" "second argument" thirdargument fouthargument

Thank you for your help, but doesn work, it pass only "first" in your example

Quote it in the script, like so:
grep -nri "$1" *

Here is a nice link tip:

I worked, but I have put
grep -nri "$1" *
and also "aaa bbb" in the command line.
Many thanks to all
