Parameter Passing problem
Hi All,
I developed a KSH script which will accept two parameters as input. These two parameters are some directories paths.
In the script i am validating the number of paramaters it received as below
#--------------------------------------
# Check Command line arguments
#--------------------------------------
if [ ${#} -ne 2 ]
then
echo " ${NOW} ${ScrName} : Invalid Parameter list..."
echo " ${NOW} ${ScrName} : Script needs TWO parameters"
echo " ${NOW} ${ScrName} : Param1--Input file path"
echo " ${NOW} ${ScrName} : Param2--Output file path"
exit 1
fi
and i am calling my script as
sh Script Name /home/raamch/work/infile /home/raamch/work/infile
script is giving the error as
+ [ 1 -ne 2 ]
+ echo Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Invalid Parameter list...
Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Invalid Parameter list...
+ echo Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Script needs TWO parameters
Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Script needs TWO parameters
+ echo Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Param1--Input file path
Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Param1--Input file path
+ echo Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Param2--Output file path
Wed Jul 22 04:42:27 CDT 2009 SELUPDFLE.sh : Param2--Output file path
+ exit 1
Even i tried the script calling as below
scriptname "path1" "path2"
scriptname "path1","path2"
scriptname 'path1' 'path2'
But no use.
script is not accepting the two parameters.
Please help me on how to pass directory paths as parameters to the KSH script.

BASENAME(3) 1 BASENAME(3)
basename - Returns trailing name component of path
SYNOPSIS
string basename (string $path, [string $suffix])
DESCRIPTION
Given a string containing the path to a file or directory, this function will return the trailing name component.
PARAMETERS
o $path
- A path. On Windows, both slash ( /) and backslash ( ) are used as directory separator character. In other environments, it is
the forward slash ( /).
o $suffix
- If the name component ends in $suffix this will also be cut off.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the base name of the given $path.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
basename(3) example
<?php
echo "1) ".basename("/etc/sudoers.d", ".d").PHP_EOL;
echo "2) ".basename("/etc/sudoers.d").PHP_EOL;
echo "3) ".basename("/etc/passwd").PHP_EOL;
echo "4) ".basename("/etc/").PHP_EOL;
echo "5) ".basename(".").PHP_EOL;
echo "6) ".basename("/");
?>
The above example will output:
1) sudoers
2) sudoers.d
3) passwd
4) etc
5) .
6)
NOTES
Note
basename(3) operates naively on the input string, and is not aware of the actual filesystem, or path components such as " ..".
Note
basename(3) is locale aware, so for it to see the correct basename with multibyte character paths, the matching locale must be set
using the setlocale(3) function.
SEE ALSO
dirname(3), pathinfo(3).
