Yeah, that's a good start. I actually have a little script I wrote,
called "args":
wooledg:~$ cat bin/args
#!/bin/sh
printf "%d args:" "$#"
printf " <%s>" "$@"
echo
It's similar to echo, but gives a bit more feedback.
wooledg:~$ args echo *.txt
6 args: <echo> <equipment.txt> <gistfile1.txt> <items.txt> <rename.pl.txt> <TWL06.txt>
wooledg:~$ args "" '' '{}' '"' "'"
5 args: <> <> <{}> <"> <'>
Yet another basic tool you can use for certain kinds of analysis.
Like, when you're learning just how bad ssh is at certain things like
preserving arguments:
wooledg:~$ ssh localhost bin/args echo "a quoted string with spaces"
wooledg@localhost's password:
6 args: <echo> <a> <quoted> <string> <with> <spaces>
"Oh, so THAT'S why it's breaking!"
