title: My shell script to symlink a file from one directory to another is broken
body: <p>I have a file within a Dropbox directory and I want to symlink it to my home/user directory.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to automate it with a shell script like so...</p>
  
  <pre><code>db="$HOME/Dropbox/Fresh\ Install"
  ln -s $db/README.md $HOME/symlinked.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...but all that happens is when I run <code>sh provision.sh</code> I get the error <code>ln: /Users/&lt;user&gt;/symlinked.txt: No such file or directory</code></p>
  
  <p>I'm guessing the problem is related to the path pointing to a folder whose name has a space inside it.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried different variations to get it to work but can't figure it out.</p>
  
  <p>Tried to use "command substitution" as well but couldn't understand how it was relevant to the problem.</p>
  
  <p>Any help to get this working appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Note: I'm using zsh but as far as I'm aware running this simple bash script shouldn't be an issue/conflict.</p>
