I am getting an error:


This is because $RES contains a lot of strings and even error points to this command, this might get evaluated later in the script with eval.

There is an option but I do not want to trim the var.

I am starting to look into how to replace exec with xargs but not yet sure how to.

Can anybody give me an advice please on how to solve this error?

I'm pretty sure `exec' is not what you need.
hard to say more without the script, and context.

It is not my script and it is like 200`000 lines!!

Generally it works very well this exact command is executed many times successfully. Just once when "argument list is too long" - it fails like this.
ARG_MAX on my system is 131072 but I would not like to increase - rather to find a solution.

I am sorry - this is a TCL code that can use bash variables.

Anyway - solution:

[set variables before]

set outfile [open "$file" a]

puts $outfile RES_loc="$RES"
puts $file

close $outfile
