Command line arguments are represented as $1, $2, etc.

var=""

if [ -n "$1"]; then

var=$1

fi

Only 9 commands line arguments are permitted in /bin/sh, that is you can't reference the 10th argument as $10. However you can pass an unlimited number of arguments if you use the shift built-in. In /bin/bash you can reference arguments after the 9th by using brackets, that is ${10}, ${11} and so on. More details here, in section "positional parameters".
