Thread: escaping a command line inside a bash script

hi,

need add configuration tomcat java_opts

java_opts="
-ddateformat=yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
"

problem when tomcat starts believes hh:mm:ss command. need keep space between dd , hh. don't know bash script appreciated.

easy,

code:

java_opts="   -ddateformat=yyyy-mm-dd\ hh:mm:ss   "

or maybe

code:

java_opts="   -ddateformat=yyyy-mm-dd%20hh:mm:ss   "
