hi ,

we can supply as many parameters to a script. simplest way is :

PHP Code:


			
 cat param.sh

#!/bin/ksh

#

a=${1}

b=${2}

c=${3}

d=${4}

e=${5}

f=${6}

g=${7}

h=${8}

i=${9}

j=${10}

echo $a

echo $b

echo $j

run this script after supplying the parameters :

PHP Code:


			
param.sh 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

1

2

0

Thanks
Sumeet

The above only works depending on your ksh version.

What always should work is using the "shiift" command.

# cat ff.sh
#!/usr/bin/ksh

echo $1
echo $2
echo $3
echo $4
echo $5
echo $6
echo $7
echo $8
echo $9
shift 9
echo $1
echo $2
echo $3
echo $4
echo $5
echo $6

# ./ff.sh a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p
a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h
i
j
k
l
m
n
o

I provided an extra argument ("p") on purpose.
