Sed Multiple Files insert apostrophe

[RIK312]

Hello all :KS

I have this current sh code

DELETE=`$MEGASYNC --username $USER --password $PASSWORD --dryrun --reload --download --local $LOCALDIR --remote $REMOTEDIR | sed 's/F '$SEDLOCALDIR'/'$SEDREMOTEDIR'/g'`
an example of output of $DELETE is

/Root/W/my file 1.txt /Root/W/my file 2.txt /Root/W/my file 3.txt
but i need

"/Root/W/my file 1.txt" "/Root/W/my file 2.txt" "/Root/W/my file 3.txt"
what is the correct sed syntax for get the apostrophe?
Thanks so much

Escape the quote (") char using a backlash (\)
Example replacing all the 't' chars in a string with '"' chars:

$ echo example string | sed 's/t/\"/g'
example s"ring

Welcome to the forums!

Please check out:
http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Arguments
and BashFAQ 020 (link in my signature).

You didn't post the actual command which you use. Does it have an option to print null terminated list of file names?

Finally I have fixed the code from myself :KS Anyone need the correct code is


#!/bin/sh
USER="###"
PASSWORD="###"
MEGASYNC='/usr/local/bin/megasync'
MEGARM='/usr/local/bin/megarm'
LOCALDIR="/local/dir"
REMOTEDIR="/Root/Dir"
SEDLOCALDIR="\/local\/dir"
SEDREMOTEDIR="\/Root\/Dir"
BACKUP_TIME=`date +%c`
LOG="/usr/local/bin/Mega - "`date +%d" "%m" "%y`".txt"
DELETE=`$MEGASYNC --username $USER --password $PASSWORD --dryrun --reload --download --local $LOCALDIR --remote $REMOTEDIR | sed 's/F '$SEDLOCALDIR'/'$SEDREMOTEDIR'/g'`
echo "$DELETE" | while read line ; do
if [ ! -z "$line" ] ; then
$MEGARM --username $USER --password $PASSWORD "$line"
echo "[$BACKUP_TIME] File Removed "$line"" >> $LOG
fi
done
$MEGASYNC --username $USER --password $PASSWORD --no-progress --local $LOCALDIR --remote $REMOTEDIR >> $LOG
echo "[$BACKUP_TIME] Synchronization to MEGA Done!" >> $LOG
Thanks all for the help! Have a nice day
