[ale] Shell Scripting Question

[Nick Travis]

I'm working on a script that creates a static webpage that lists all of
the files in a directory, it's working fine except for one thing.  I'm
getting a blank space when I create the line of html.
here's the code:

> # create the html to be added to files.html
> first="<p><a href=\"/music/"
> middle="\" >"
> end="</a></p>"
>                                                                                 
> echo $first $current_file $middle $current_file $end >> /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/music/files.html

Here's what it gives me:
/music/ my-file

I need to get:
/music/my-file

any thoughts?  I'm not very experienced in shell scripting, so there's probably a better way to accomplish the same thing.

Thanks
Nick
