my script must pass through tester

all test are okay except when running script like this
./skript.csh dirctory directory directory

it should search all these three directories and find the longest links it has the same code as above only first if have test -d "$1" if the first argument is directory and in find is "$@" insted of "." and there are two test in these test the tester run script with more directories and first test is ok but second not and i dont know why any idea where can be problem. also there are directories and links with special characters in name or spaces but script work with them good
You have shown us what your code looks like when your script is invoked with no arguments (or with the 1st argument set to an empty string).

You have implied what your code looks like with the 1st argument is "-d".

Show us what code you're using when there are 3 arguments given that name directories.

And, PLEASE, never name a bash script with the filename extension ".csh". The .csh filename extension, by convention, should only be used to name C shell scripts. The Bourne shell (and extensions of the Bourne shell like bash and ksh) are very different from the C shell.

PAPS(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   PAPS(1)

NAME

       paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango

SYNOPSIS

       paps [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves
       through the pango ft2 backend.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       --landscape
	      Landscape output. Default is portrait.

       --columns=cl
	      Number of columns output. Default is 1.

       --font=desc
	      Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12.

       --rtl  Do rtl layout.

       --paper ps
	      Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4.

       --bottom-margin=bm
	      Set bottom margin in postscript points (1/72 inch). Default is 36.

       --top-margin=tm
	      Set top margin. Default is 36.

       --left-margin=lm
	      Set left margin. Default is 36.

       --right-margin=rm
	      Set right margin. Default is 36.

       --help Show summary of options.

       --header
	      Draw page header for each page.

       --markup
	      Interpret the text as pango markup.

       --encoding=ENCODING
	      Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING.

       --lpi  Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing.

       --cpi  Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size.

       --stretch-chars
	      Indicates  that  characters  should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops
	      behaviour.
