Code:
if [ $# -eq 2 ] then decsite=$1 rawtype=$2 daterange=$3 else echo "Input site number: " read decsite echo "Input type: " read rawtype echo "Input date: " read daterange fi
Scrutinizer's answer worked beautifully! I have NO idea how and will spend the next hours/days figuring it out, but it works.
Chubler_XL, case is much more elegant in the script as well, so thanks for that!
