If you're willing to accept bashisms, then: argstr="" for arg in "$@"; do argstr=${argstr:+$argstr,}arg=${arg//,/,,} done qemu-system-arm --semihosting-options "$argstr" If you want pure POSIX shell then it is slightly uglier as we have to invoke sed: argstr="" for arg in "$@"; do o=$(printf '%s.\n' "$arg" | sed s/,/,,/g) argstr=${argstr:+$argstr,}arg=${o%.} done qemu-system-arm --semihosting-options "$argstr" (Note the trick with the '.' to ensure correct handling of trailing newlines in arguments; credit to mdw for that one.) -- PMM
