My Situation:
-Sservername
user at the command prompt would be entering -S servername and I would like to capture servername value using the string fuction.
What should I do??

I'm not sure to understand what you want to do...

Something like this ?

user: the_script ... -S servername ...

Code:

while [ $# -gt 0 ]
do
   if [ "$1" = "-S" ]
   then
      if [ $# -le 1 ]
      then
         echo "Syntax error: missing servername"
         exit 1
      else
         servername=$2
         break
      fi
   fi
   shift
done
if [ -z "$servername" ]
then
   echo "-S option not specified
else
   echo "Servername: $servername"
fi
