Can somebody please tell how to capture the last but one function parameter? I tried something like this in vain,

set -A counts $*
x=${#counts[*]}
y=`expr $x -1`
filename="$(y)" # I tried some of these ...

Can we do it like that?

Thanks again!

Tout simplement :

eval filename=\$$(($# -1))

Thanks a lot for the replies aigles! Also, can you tell how to pass & return an array from a function?
