[wetumka_linux]

The following script, works perfectly except for the last line you can

#! /bin/bash
clear
echo "For CD iso press ctrl-c and execute cd2iso"
echo -n "File name for iso image (ie. DvdName.iso):"
read -e isoName
echo -n "Enter File Description:"
read -e desc
echo -n "please wait, reading DVD..."
dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/shares/iso/$isoName
echo $isoName $desc >> /shares/iso/files.txt

You only need some quotations.

#! /bin/bash
clear
echo "For CD iso press ctrl-c and execute cd2iso"
echo -n "File name for iso image (ie. DvdName.iso):"
read -e isoName
echo -n "Enter File Description:"
read -e desc
echo -n "please wait, reading DVD..."
# Quoting the next variable you ensure this will work
# even if the file name has spaces
dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/shares/iso/"$isoName"
# you need to quote the string if it has spaces in it
echo "$isoName $desc" >> /shares/iso/files.txt

Also, what't the difference between the two scripts? Wouldn't it be the same exactly for a cd or a dvd? You could use a generic script.

Thank's yes would work 1 generic script, however small platform pc has a low profile cd-rom, dvd is external and mayt not be attached al the time reason for both scripts and by doing it this way i can create an dvd and a cd iso at the same time. thanks for help really appreciated
