pipe password to command problem

[TheYikes]

hello yet again! I'm trying to run this script.

#!/bin/bash
passwd=$(kdialog --password "Enter password")
echo "$password" | sudo -S bash -c dd if=/home/yikes/Downloads/kali/kali.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress

but i keep getting this error.

[sudo] password for yikes: Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for yikes:
sudo: no password was provided
sudo: 1 incorrect password attempt

I did quite a bit of research before i posted this but i had no joy.

oki figured it out it was a typo on my behalf but now that i have that sorted i have a new error message. When i run shor.sh i now get this error

[sudo] password for yikes: 0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes copied, 5.066e-05 s, 0.0 kB/s

ok i just figrerd it out AGAIN. If i omit the "bash -c" it runs fine

echo $password is problematic... for an alternative see my recent post
