linux - Bash script failing to execute bash script -

i'm trying run script installs files in directory user specifies. once user specifies directory, i'd transfer main file directory can perform more tasks there before deleting once complete.

    #prompt directory in build project     read -p "drag , drop directory in you'd build project:  "      echo "reply $reply"     cp ./myscript.sh $reply     /bin/bash $reply/myscript.sh 

i've got script execute file question. tried doing source $reply/myscript.sh sh $reply/myscript.sh. error /path/to/file/ directory

it must doesn't known i'm trying run myscript.sh, don't understand how i've given directory.

a cause drag-and-drop putting whitespace after directory name.

thus:

/bin/bash $reply/myscript.sh 

would running

/bin/bash /path/to/directory /myscript.sh 

a simple fix, if that's standard space, be:

/bin/bash "${reply% }/myscript.sh"
