Shell script with input parameter

jhmr7 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-12-2005

Can anyone help me how to write a shell script which accepts input parameter. My requirement is as follows:

I need to run a shell script with a input parameter, and inside the script i will create a file with this input parameter name.

Please help me out to create such a shell script.

Thanks.

Try this.

Code:

#! /bin/sh

if [ $# -ne 0 ]; then
        echo "Param "$@" "
        touch $@
fi;

You have to make use of $@, $# and $1 et al to make further proper use of command line parameters passed to the script.
