[C SHELL] How to pass dynamic number of arguments
I have a task. The scenario is like this. I have a operation program (OPR1) , whose function is to simply double the (single)value it receives as input.
I have to write a script to operate the OPR1 and save its output in a file.

Later, I have to modify the script so as to be able to operate OPR1-OPR5, where OPR1 receives single value as input,OPR2 receives two values as input, OPR3 receives three values as input and so on.

I must tell that this is not the exact problem statement at my hand, but a bit complex than the problem statement listed above.(Please prompt me if it is not clear). I have just learnt the basics, hence just request you to help me learn by example.

I request you to :

1) Please provide me a code for the problem statement above.
2) Direct me to study material/ source where i can find numerous Cshell examples to learn how to apply the basics.
