Bash script argument with spaces

Question

I'm trying to use Torrent-Video-Player script but it doesn't works with files that contains spaces. It's a Nautilus script.

#!/bin/bash
xterm -e "peerflix "$1" --vlc"

"test.torrent" -> OK
"test test.torrent" -> Cannot execvp peerflix test : No such file or directory found

Answer 1

Change the line

xterm -e "peerflix "$1" --vlc"

to

xterm -e "peerflix '$1' --vlc"

or

xterm -e "peerflix \"$1\" --vlc"

The first form is equivalent to:

xterm -e "peerflix " $1 " --vlc"

It's not what you were expecting.
