I see. It's my mistake.

But I want to pass the 6 short arguments instead of 1 long argument to
echo. (echo is just an example, it can be any command that accepts
multiple arguments.)


~$ cat ./main1.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash

#set -o noglob
verbatim_string="  a b c ( a'b | "

args=( $verbatim_string )
#set +o noglob

echo "${args[@]}"

~$  ./main1.sh
a b c ( a'b |
