Passing options/args/parameters with spaces from the script to a function within

I've got a script that I am passing arguments/options/parameters to at the command line. One of the values has a space in it, which I have put in double quotes. It might be easier to provide an example. Forgive my usage of arguments/options/parameters. $: ./test1.ksh -n -b -d "Home Videos" My problem is setting a variable to "Home Videos" and it being used together. In my example, the -d is to specify a directory. Not all the directories have spaces, but some do in my case. This is an example of the code I have that is not working as expected: #!/bin/ksh Function1() { echo "Number of Args in Function1: $#" echo "Function1 Args: $@" SetArgs $* } SetArgs() { echo -e "\nNumber of Args in SetArgs: $#" echo "SetArgs Args: $@" while [ $# -gt 0 ] do case $1 in -[dD]) shift export DirectoryName=$1 ;; -[nN]) export Var1=No shift ;; -[bB]) export Var2=Backup shift ;; *) shift ;; esac done Function2 } Function2() { echo "Directory Name: ${DirectoryName}" } Function1 $* When I run this, I'm getting only Home for the DirectoryName instead of Home Videos. Seen below. $ ./test1.ksh -n -b -d "Home Videos" Number of Args in Function1: 5 Function1 Args: -n -b -d Home Videos Number of Args in SetArgs: 5 SetArgs Args: -n -b -d Home Videos Var1 is set to: No Var2 is set to: Backup Directory Name: Home What I am expecting and I have not been able to get it to happen is: $ ./test1.ksh -n -b -d "Home Videos" Number of Args in Function1: 4 Function1 Args: -n -b -d "Home Videos" Number of Args in SetArgs: 4 SetArgs Args: -n -b -d "Home Videos" Var1 is set to: No Var2 is set to: Backup Directory Name: Home Videos <-- Without double quotes in the final usage. I've tried escaping the double quotes, without any success.
