Parameter to text file
I have a file called filename.cg.

Which contains the hard-coded value.

Code:
Name abc
Age 23

In another script we are calling the filename.cg

perl abc.pl abc 23
should be the parameter.


In filename.cg

Code:
Name 1st parameter
Age 2nd parameter

Name 1st parameter
Age 2nd parameter
How to make the Name and age values to be in the parameter.

Now the filename.cg contains the hard-coded values, so how can i make that to take the arguments from the command line.

u can do something like below. by reading variables.
Code:
if [[ $# -eq 0 ]] || [[ $# -gt 1 ]]
then 
echo "erorr more input given"
name=$1
age=$2

if [[ -z ${name} ]] || if [[ -z ${age} ]]
then
echo "error your parameters entered are empty.please enter parameters"
fi
done

nw ur file will take parameters from user and put another echo statement like below if u want to print name and age.

echo "$1 = name and $2 = age"
