title: How to add path with space in Bash variable
body: <p>How can I add a path with a space in a Bash variable in <code>.bashrc</code>? I want to store some variables in <code>.bashrc</code> for paths and I encountered a path with a space in it.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to add it between <code>' '</code> or use the escape character <code>\</code>, but it didn't help:</p>
  
  <pre><code>games=/run/media/mohamedRadwan/games\ moves    # this doesn't work
  games='/run/media/mohamedRadwan/games  moves'  # or this
  games="/run/media/mohamedRadwan/games  moves"  # or this
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... when I run:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mount $games
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... it throws an error indicating that it's only trying to mount <code>/run/media/mohamedRadwan/games</code>.</p>
  
  <p>But when I run <code>echo $games</code>, it shows the full value, <code>/run/media/mohamedRadwan/games moves</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can I solve this?</p>
