I'm trying to make a shell script for a class in college where it will tack to entered arguments and display them on the screen as " Your first argument was ___" and "your Second argument was ____". If more or less then two arguments are entered the program will quit.
So it I entered:
./usage.bash hi there
my out put should be:
your first argument was hi
your second argument was there.

Here is what I have so far:
#!/bin/bash
if [ ]
then
echo "Your first argument was $1"
echo "Your second argument was $2"
else
exit 127
fi
I need to figure out how to test to see if I have two arguments.

Use $#. It contains the number of arguments.

Thank you I just could not remember. Is there a good online resource that might be able to help me with my scripting?

Go to tldp.org, search for bash scripting. Google's great, too.

The best guide I've seen is here: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/

Honestly, just search around yourself. It's hard not to find good bash documentation.
