Writing scripts with arguments?

rated 0 times [ 19] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 44217 / 1 Year ago, sat, february 11, 2023, 6:11:21

I want to write shell script that takes an argument, and then applies it to files.

Specifically, I want to give a term, and then have it compile term.as with mxmlc ("mxmlc term.as"), then run term.swf with flashplayerdebugger ("flashplayerdebugger term.swf"). I'm fairly new to shell scripting - any thoughts?

You could use something like this:

#!/bin/sh

# $0 is the script name, $1 id the first ARG, $2 is second...

NAME="$1"

mxmlc $NAME.as

flashplayerdebugger $NAME.swf
