pass entire parameters in shell scripts

Posted on March 18, 2010 by SoCRaT

example bash file:

save the following in a file called print.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo “$@”
and then :
chmod +x print.sh
./print.sh hello world
Note that, all the parameters you pass to print.sh will be passed to echo, this because of “$@”

    One question: Do you mean that in the above example you passed 2 parameters "hello" and "world"?
