LinuxQuestions.org - Bash Script: Problem running variable command containing ""

I need to run the following command inside a bash script:

Code:

dialog --backtitle "Back Title" --title "Title" --menu "" 40 40 10 \ 

"1" "one two three four" \ 

"2" "five six seven eight" \

2> temp.file

Where "1" "one two three four" "2" "five six seven eight" are diffrent variables. And it can be a lot more variables, since its going to be read from a seperate file which contains more or less rules for iptables

But when i run it it will be ran as:

Code:

dialog --backtitle "Back Title" --title "Title" --menu "" 40 40 10 \ 

"1" "one" \

"two" "three" \

"four" "2" \

"five" "six" \

"seven" "eight" \

2> temp.file

I've tryed everything possible i could think of like:

Code:

var1="1"

var2="one two three four"

Code:

var="$var $var1 $var2"

Code:

var="$var \"${var1}\" \"${var2}\""

Code:

var=$(echo $var \"$var1\" \"$var2\")

and a lot more.

This is a little hard to explain, but you can download the script from http://62.73.217.42/paasan.tar.gz
It will extract itself to a directory called "paasan" containing the script and a modified version of dialog.

Really hope someone can help
Thanks in advance :)
