great that works. i need to add a second parameter when i added a second parameter it appears that it is also including the second parameter string.

Code:
$ sh sample.sh "/u02/app/ccalloc/dev/out/*.txt" "/export/home/ccalftdv/data"
EATVDAILY02132008.txt
EATVDAILY03292007.txt
EATVDAILY04082008.txt
EATVDAILY05012008.txt
EATVDAILY05282008.txt
EATVDAILY06052007.txt
EATVDAILY06062007.txt
EATVDAILY06192009.txt
EATVDAILY06222009.txt
EATVDAILY06242009.txt
EATVDAILY07132009.txt
EATVDAILY07142009.txt
EATVDAILY07152009.txt
EATVDAILY07162009.txt
EATVDAILY10212009.txt
PCARDDAILY07102009.txt
citicc_pre_pack.txt
data
$

the last display data is coming from the second parameter "/export/home/ccalftdv/data". how do i exclude that? thanks.
