[Bug] Need to defend against blanks in path to jflex bash script [sf#83]

[lsf37]

*Reported by anonymous on 2007-01-07 14:44 UTC
The bash script distributed with jflex contains the following line inside the loop that turns a symbolic link to the script into a real path:

[ ${newprg} = ${newprg#/} ] && newprg=${PRG%/*}/${newprg}

If the path to jflex contains a blank, then this line fails with the error message "too many arguments".

What's needed (I believe) is to change this line to

[ "${newprg}" = "${newprg#/}" ] && newprg=${PRG%/*}/${newprg}

A small thing, but it worried me enough to spend the time to track it down to be sure something significant wasn't going on, so I expect it's worth fixing.

You're right. Thanks for the fix, I'll include it in the next version.
