Hello,

In my doorparty script I use the following to get the users handle:

HANDLE=$(sed '36q;d' ${DROPFILE} | tr -d '\r\n')

This works fine for someone like me with a handle of "Tiny" what if my handle was "The Tiny" I need to convert it from "The Tiny" to "The_Tiny" so I can pass
the handle
to door party correctly. As it is now the script fails because the number of parameters is incorrect.

Any ideas?

Shawn

I think I remember this problem. Try adding

HANDLE=${HANDLE// /_}

That's the magic. Thank-you!
