Dynamic Agrument while running a script

Hi Gurus,

I am tryin to get the nth argument/parameter ( n being calculated in runtime).
I want to assign tghis value to a variable say myvar. How do i do it? I am struggling to get proper escape chars in place.

e.g. Say my script name is myscript.sh
I will run the script by typing $myscript.sh abc def ghi
In the script i have a variable n which wil indicate which parameter to pic up and myvar should contain this parameter.

Thanks in advance.
