eh, it's mostly automagic but the first few times you encounter it makes for some fun debugging.

Play around with the var=$(ls -A) construction a bit and see what is happening with your files.

You should be using a variable not an alias.

Variables in bash have a few sharp edges; one of which is that spaces act as a delimiter and turn the variable into a list.

The other being that sometimes escaping and unescaping the contents of a variable can be stupidly tricky. This is why a lot of people who use bash do not like spaces in directory or file names.

Ah, you forget that the guest and the host are not doing business with each other; both are dealing with AirBnB which means AirBnB is the only party with standing to file a criminal complaint against the host. And that their TOS binds the guest. Given how completely they caved to the guest, I'm guessing even an arbitration hearing would have gone her way.
