Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Passing a parameter while calling a script Post 302166723 by rvegmond on Tuesday 12th of February 2008 04:23:40 PM

I'm not sure what you mean, but when you want to compare the parameter passed in the script you should compare the $1 in the script (think this is very basic)..
so if this is what you want, you should do something like this:

if [ $1 == 'Lond' ]
then
... do something in London ...
else if [ $1 == 'Birm' ]
then
... something in Birmingham ....
fi
fi

But I think I misunderstood the question, so please explain a bit more.
