BASH: dot in directory name?

[adamcannon]

Hello,

My script below doesn't work because of the dot in the directory name. Does anybody know the workaround?

#!/bin/bash

DIR=/home/google.com/

cd $DIR

hi that a good question
try this....

DIR=/home/google.com/
cd $DIR
pwd
-----------
it did work -what actually happens...
sh test.sh --i assume test.sh is your script name
when run ur script -shell creates child process and which goes to the google.com dir and u got nothing to there...-
then the child process terminates and comes back to old parent shell.
It has nothing to do with dot in ur directory name

Adding a "pwd" to the script isn't going to help

Actually what i mean is ...
cd $dir

is working....u can change into another directory with ur script.
it's indeed in /home/google.com directory try and check out with ls or pwd.
it display content of /home/google.com
Thanks
