echo $var Problem

[Ejdaha]

Hi all
I have a question related with variables. Let's assume that I have one .txt file in my /tmp directory. Look here:

#!/bin/sh
var='/tmp/*.txt'
echo var

I'm getting
/tmp/file.txt

That's ok

Now I want the file name to be displayed in this sitaution to :
echo "file=>$var"

It shows
file=>/tmp/*.txt

But I want it to be shown as
file=>/tmp/file.txt

How can I solve it?
Thanks ...

tried removing the quotes?

So you want

#!/bin/sh
var='/tmp/*.txt'
echo var

to show

file=>/tmp/file.txt

... how about you change to:

#!/bin/sh
var='/tmp/file.txt'
echo var

You are, after all, echoing out a literal variable here.
