UNIX files issue
In one of my unix folder, have 2 files, these 2 files will keep on change with date time stamp. we want to use these files in one of our unix script.

Can anyone help us how to take these 2 files as parameters passing to that script (like in VB or bat), instead of hard coded or manual change daily.

Appreciate your help in advance.!

Code:
./myscript file1 file2

They will be the variables $1 and $2 in the script.

Assuming you have only those two files in your "unix folder", try
Code:
./unixscript unixfolder/*

If that does not satisfy your needs, be more specific, show your directory contents, file names, etc.
