[Bash] execute string as command

[michael_hk]

Hi,

I am trying to execute a string as command.

txt="echo \"abc\""
`$txt`

result

./test.sh: line 2: "abc": command not found

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Michael

You might want to try the eval shell command instead of the backticks; maybe that'll work.

Thanks, works like a charm.

used it without the backtick and it worked!
