Multiple paramters to a shell script
Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how to pass and handle 'N' parameters in a shell script.

Thanks,
Sumesh

Code:
echo $@

output:
Code:
# ./test1.sh one two three four
one two three four

Sumesh,
Shell script parameters are a "$" (Dollar sign) followed by a number.
Example: $1 $2 $3 ... $n
${#} is the number of parameters.
${@} is all parameters.
To use all parameters do the following:
Code:
typeset -i mCnt=1
while [ ${mCnt} -le ${#} ]
do
  mParm=${mCnt}
  echo "mParm = "${mParm}
  mCnt=${mCnt}+1
done
