how to pass parameters from .bat to .sh

[justride]

How would I pass some parameters from inside .bat file to a .sh file.

If I do
test.sh %1 %2
from inside my .bat file, I dont know how to retrieve the parameters from within the .sh

Thanks

The parameters are $1, $2, etc.
So, in your example, whatever %1 is will be $1 in test.sh
But, how are you running DOS .bat files and *nix .sh files in the same environment? That doesn't make sense.

Windows SFU (Services For Unix) sorta like Cygwin.

SFU gives us this korn shell. I will try what you suggested. Thanks

Ok, that explains it

You might also want to look at $# (the number of arguments) and $@ and $* which are all the arguments. i.e. If the call is

myscript one two three

and the script is

echo $1
echo $2
echo $3
echo $#
echo $*

Then the output should be

one
two
three
3
one two three

Notice that in shell scripts variables are denoted by the $ sign. So, what in a batch script would be %COUNT%, in a shell script it is $COUNT. If you need to delimit it try ${COUNT}
