[SOLVED] How to check if a string has spaces in Bash shell

Issue

Say a string might be like "a b '' c '' d". How can I check that there is single/double quote and space contained in the string?

Solution

case "$var" in  
     *\ * )
           echo "match"
          ;;
       *)
           echo "no match"
           ;;
esac
