Hi,
If the parameters passed to a shell script are more than 9, then how to handle it...

Thanks
Deb

Use the ${i} syntax for parameters substitution
For example : ${11}

The following script display all the parameters (bash syntax for loop):

Code:

echo "Args#: $#"
for ((a=1; a<=$#; a++))
do
   eval arg=\${$a}
   echo "Args$a: $arg"
done
