Yes, --eval causes all arguments to be interpreted as Lisp expressions. The
following script should work (note that some contraptions are required to
let it deal with all kinds of filenames):
#!/bin/bash
set -o errexit -o nounset -o pipefail
declare -a args=()
for file
do
# Use base64 encoding to deal with Lisp syntax in file names.
# No herestring because that appends a newline.
# No echo to deal with file names starting with dashes.
encoded="$(printf '%s' "${file}" | base64)"
args+=("(find-file (base64-decode-string \"${encoded}\"))")
done
emacsclient --eval '(load "/home/harry/.emacs-dir/client2SomeServer.el" t)'
"${args[@]}"
