Hi, Simply just use the variables $1 and $2. In bash there is no difference between integers and strings. Just for interest sake, $0 is the file name of the script ... how it was called. e.g. AddTwoNumbers 3 4 $0 has a value of "AddTwoNumbers" $1 contains 3 and $2 contains 4 Hope this helps Mick On Wed, Aug 06, 2003 at 05:24:32PM -0500, Gregory Nowak wrote: > Hi all. > > Can someone please tell me how to write a bash script that would accept 2 > arguments from the command line, where the first argument would be an > integer like 1234567, and the second argument would be a text string? > I would then like to be able to access the variables inside the script > via $VAR1 and $VAR2. > > Thanks for any help. > > Greg > > > -- > Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager at EU.org > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > -- --- Michael D.
