David let me thank you for your quick and very helpful response.
You're very welcome, George.
I'd said,
My first guess is that your shell is
barfing over [SPAM]$MATCH but accepting [SPAM] or [WRATH].
and asked what a variation that separated "[SPAM]" from $MATCH would do.
but George reported,
The same result, it failed with the same error and I think it's correct
because leading spaces/tabs in subject won't change anything, will they?
Since you had said that it worked OK with just "[WRATH]" I was allowing
that somehow the quoting might not be getting passed to the shell, and
the shell might be trying to glob [WRATH] or [SPAM] or [SPAM]$MATCH
despite the quotation marks. Apparently not. My remaining guess is
that it could be something in your shell's startup file.
In the end, I suggested an end-run around the shell, and George reported,
Yes it's better and it works fine.
Good.
