Spaces in a folder name I have a foldername with a space between the name: /Volumes/Img/Horos Data/DATABASE/

I need to put it in a variable to use in a script.

In terminal I can use \ to use the folder: cd /Volumes/Dados/Horos\ Data/DATABASE/, but it doesn't work when I put in a variable like:

DESTINY=/Volumes/Dados/Horos\ Data/DATABASE.noindex/
ls $DESTINY


How can I put it in a variable?
Quotes can be used to escape spaces when assigning to a variable.

var="abc def ghi"
