I've searched all over Google and the StackExchange sites, but all of the answers may work for the programs they used, but not for this (timecalc).

This program is similar of fsck, having a ">>>+" prompt when opened and, apparently, not supporting receiving programmatic usage/commands unless through a Bash trick.

How to send commands to timecalc as if using its prompt but from an external bash script? [OPTIONAL] Bonus: a solution that works also at fsck and most of other prompt/interaction-only programs.

./timecalc sample command to test: 15:00 - 5:00 (should return "10:00" to the bash script)

My bash script registers its own path so it can return to its own folder after doing a cd somewhere (kinda if it explores a different forest and is able to relocate its house).

And if the path have spaces, I've used sed to add \ before every space.

But when using cd $SCRIPTPATH to this variable:

./newsed.sh: 11: cd: can't cd to /media/daniell/B/bkp/ST500LM012\

Source: newsed.sh:

#!/bin/bash -e

tmp="$( cd -- "$(dirname "$0")" >/dev/null 2>&1 ; pwd -P )"
SCRIPTPATH="$(echo "$tmp" | sed 's/ /\\ /g')"

echo "$SCRIPTPATH"

ls
cd
ls
cd $SCRIPTPATH
ls

echo $SCRIPTPATH produces a normal path (/media/daniell/B/bkp/ST500LM012\ HN-M500MBB\ Dat/0/ok/Pendrive/flshdrive/0.Floflis-DNA/layers/soil) that I can manually copy and cd into it, and works; but when cd'ing directly to the variable (cd $SCRIPTPATH) it crashes right after the \.

Example:

NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="20.04.2 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="UniOS 20.04.1 2021.05.15 LTS customized using Cubic on 2021-05-15 21:31"
VERSION_ID="20.04"
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"

BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"

UBUNTU_CODENAME=focal

What I want to change:

UniOS 20.04.1 2021.05.15 LTS customized using Cubic on 2021-05-15 21:31

I don't want to use a text editor, but an CLI program like crudini that accepts a command to directly do that on config files.

Thanks in advance.
