Assigning a Variable all the Parameters passed
Hi,
I have a unix script which can accept n number of parameters .
I can get the parameter count using the following command and assign it to a variable
file_count=$#
Is there a similar command through which i can assign a variable all the values that i have passed as a parameter
Examples
unix_script.sh abc pqr xyz
If i run the above script i need to get the parameter values in a variable.
In the above case a variable named script_parm should get all the parameter values
script_parm=abc pqr xyz
Please help
Sam
