Sending a parameter with space to another script in bash

I need to send a variable to another script (BASH) and uset after in this first script. The code goes something like this:

read var
source myscipt.sh $var
echo $var

The problem is that if y put spaces when entering $var after sending it to myscript.sh I only have the first one.

NOTE: In myscript.sh I only use $1 does this have something to do with the problem?

Thanx!!!

You need to use quotes. Thus var will be considered as only one parameter, even if it contains spaces.

source myscipt.sh "$var"
