Input variable in command line
i have this script that reads a file "listall_101111" where 101111 varies.


Code:
awk '{print $0,$1}' listall_101111 | sed -e 's/\(.*\).$/\1/g' | awk '{print $6,$2,$3,$4,$5}' | sort -nrk5 | nawk 'NR==1{m=$5;a[$1]++;b[$1]=(b[$1])?b[$1]:$0;next}$5==m{a[$1]++;b[$1]=(b[$1])?b[$1]:$0}END{for (i in a){print b[i],a[i]}}' | grep -v ^LG | sort +2


I want to put the script in a file and run it from the command line with the variable also in the command line like

Code:
> ./script 101111
