Hi!

If I got you correctly , you don't look for the command line argument parsing ($0 is for the command name itself and $1 the first param - checked in "Unix in a Nutshell")

What you look for is maybe testing if a filename exist in the current direcotry ?

To do that you just use on ksh:

if [ ! -e "$1" ];
then
echo this file does not exist
fi

next time please specify which shell you are using sh/ksh/csh...

NAME
lr_environment - Export Lire configuration in shell script form SYNOPSIS
eval `lr_environment` DESCRIPTION
The lr_environment command is used to import the Lire configuration in Lire shell scripts. All of Lire configuration variables will be written in a format that can be evaled by the shell. Shell scripts don't usually have to use that command, since it is done by the defaults file sourced by each command. The old names used by when the configuration was done in shell script are also exported by this script for backward compatibility. AUTHOR
