Mr.Elendig

ALBUM=$(cat /home/qaov/cnk | grep Album | cut -c 8-)

that`s my variable, inside sh script

adding "" won`t help...
maybe i must replace spaces with special variable like these from djszapi`s post ?

' '  =>  '\ '

Try

ALBUM="$(cat /home/qaov/cnk | grep Album | cut -c 8-)"

The whole expression was quoted

Re: [SOLVED]zsh and variables?

--> zsh
--> export test=$(echo one two three)
--> echo $test
one
--> export test="$(echo one two three)"
--> echo $test
one two three
--> bash
--> export test=$(echo one two three)
--> echo $test
one two three
--> exit

A bug maybe?

var=$(..) should work without quotes

--> test=$(echo one two three)
--> export test                        
--> echo $test
one two three

Re: [SOLVED]zsh and variables?

Unrelated, but there's a useless cat in there:

 cat /home/qaov/cnk | grep Album

is the same as

grep Album /home/qaov/cnk

Edit: spelling

Re: [SOLVED]zsh and variables?

It isn't necessarily a bug. Some zsh options change how it handles quotes, variables, etc.
