I have doubts in the input arguments value i.e. $0, $1, $2...
Step by step:
1.- % find "$1" -name "*.html" -print0 | ...
where:
- $1 is the name of the directory to search on
2.-
Code:
% ...| ... sh -c 'echo "Dumping file: $2" >> "$1"; w3m "$2" >> "$1" 2>&1' sh "$2"
where:
- $0 is sh -c
- $1 is the same as $1 in the step 1 ??? Why???
- $2 is the htmlA
- $3 is the htmlB and so on with $4, $5 etc.
3.- Finally, .. sh "$2" makes a shift
The value in $3 will be now $2
Is my understanding correct? How is the value of $1 taken?

Hi,
Lets say I have a script "ss" which does this
read abc
echo $abc
read pqr
echo $pqr
Now if I want to pass and argument to only "abc" how do I do it.
If I do

Any help is appreciated
