[SOLVED] How to input a path with a white space?

Issue

I have a main file which uses(from the main I do a source) a properties file with variables pointing to paths.

The properties file looks like this:

TMP_PATH=/$COMPANY/someProject/tmp
OUTPUT_PATH=/$COMPANY/someProject/output
SOME_PATH=/$COMPANY/someProject/some path

The problem is SOME_PATH, I must use a path with spaces (I can't change it).

I tried escaping the whitespace, with quotes, but no solution so far.

I edited the paths, the problem with single quotes is I'm using another variable $COMPANY in the path

Solution

Use one of these threee variants:

SOME_PATH="/mnt/someProject/some path"
SOME_PATH='/mnt/someProject/some path'
SOME_PATH=/mnt/someProject/some\ path
