        I suggest using ShellCheck (ShellCheck-bin),
  as it catches such errors,  and more.  I use it in
  all my bash &  POSIX shell scripting.  The typical
  SlackBuild template shows a  lot of warnings about
  quoting, which you can easily ignore by running it
  like this:

        shellcheck -e SC2086,SC2046 *.SlackBuild

        This preserves its ability to detected other
  errors, such as the use  of a variable without any
  assignment to it, while not flooding your terminal
  with dozens  of "Double quote to  prevent globbing
  and word splitting." warnings.
