Problems with ATTRIB in scripting

[W_Prindl]

I am not sure why you have still problems with paths containing spaces.

If I enter (exactly as it is written here without any additional
characters):
xx="/media/nss/VOL01/DATEN/KLIENTEN/XXXX/KORR/BU 2007-11 xxxx + y&z.doc"
and afterwards:
attrib "/$xx"
or:
attrib /"$xx"
I get:
ar aa (//media/nss/VOL01/DATEN/KLIENTEN/XXXX/KORR/BU 2007-11 xxxx +
y&z.doc)

So it works for me.
