Re: Checking numeric arguments

[Alex fxmbsw7 Ratchev]

cause [[ is bash code that recognizes a few things
its splitting on spaces, normally, and i just wanna tell u the quoting is
somewhat of not needed

there are like 3 cases of usage of data
one is var=assignment, like new=$spaces, that preserves var content to its
defining fmt
another is bash code that wanted to recognize without spaces
and one is app or function "arg with spaces"
here u only need the quotes
another sub case is where globbing happens $var not quoted can contain
globbing code, where with quotes its passes as data
