Variables don't get replaced

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The replacement of the variables doesn't seem to work for me.

When I try to download a song with the following command:

clamz -d "/home/john/Music/${album_artist}/${album}/" -o "${tracknum} - 
${title}.${suffix}" AmazonMP3-123456.amz

The file is saved under /home/john/Music/ with the title " - .".

Do you have any idea what's going wrong?

I'm using version 0.4.

Thanks!

When you run that command, the shell itself will replace those variable names 
before running clamz.  (Since you presumably don't have 'album_artist' defined 
as an environment variable, it gets replaced with an empty string.)  What you 
want to do is use single quotation marks, rather than double:

clamz -d '/home/john/Music/${album_artist}/${album}/' -o '${tracknum} - 
${title}.${suffix}' AmazonMP3-123456.amz

I used the $VAR/${VAR} syntax for variables in clamz, because I figured it 
would be easy to understand for people who are used to shell programming, but I 
guess it is a little confusing if you aren't.  Sorry about that.  I should 
probably have mentioned this in the clamz manpage as well.

I assume this issue is being kept open for info? Perhaps it could be absorbed 
into the README and closed?
