I don't think you've quite understood the question. You don't have to cut and paste anything for your code to work. Nor do you have to redirect any output. What is required here is handling command line arguments that are passed to your script. Read the man page of sh in detail, especially the execution section.
Also, since this is homework and against the site rules, I am closing this thread.
