This is the following exercise:
Adapt this to write a script storedList that takes two command line parameters. The first parameter is the name of a directory, the second parameter is the name of a directory should be store i.e
# ./storeList.sh /etc etcFilesList

How can you refer to the variables that represent the words passed in on the command line?

My Script's file:
#!/bin/bash
if test $# == 2
then
ls $1 > S2.txt
else
echo “Please enter 2 command line parameters”
fi


I'm using
#chmod u+x storeList.sh
#./storeList.sh
But I don't know what kind of commands should I use for the next line.
!!! Please, can anyone help me!

I'm curious about the bad writing in your homework assignment:

Did you do a sloppy job of retyping it into the forum? Or it was assigned in some other language and you didn't translate to English very well? Or the original assignment was that garbled?

Where did your sample script come from? Did you write it?

You seem to be successfully using $# for the count of words on the command line and $1 for the first word (after the command itself). I assume you could have used $2 for the second word if you had wanted to and/or typed carefully.

So what is your question about "variables"?

In the assignment itself that you quoted, you had
Did you not understand that is an example of the terminal command you would use to run your script?

You seem to have included almost all the answers to your possible questions in your own post. So it is very hard for me to guess what parts you don't understand.

BTW, my complaints about the quality of your typing and/or translation in the posting of your original assignment do not imply that a better job of quoting the original assignment would be acceptable. You should give us a better idea of which specific aspects of the assignment you understand or fail to understand. You should not expect anyone to do the assignment for you, just to explain specific aspects of it that you don't yet understand.

Oh,sorry I wrote it wrong.
This is the correct exercise.

Adapt this to write a script storedList that takes two command line parameters. The first parameter is the name of a directory, the second parameter is where the list of files in that directory should be store. i.e.: ./storeList.sh /etc etcFilesList
How can you refer to the variables that represent the words passed in on the command line?

This is my script solution:

if test $# == 2
then
ls $1 > $2.txt
else
echo “Please enter 2 command line parameters”
fi

I used in the terminal console this commands:
#chmod u+x storeList.sh
#./storeList.sh

But I don't know what kind of commands should I use for the next line.

I hope you can understand now!

I am with H and john in not understanding exactly what your issue is?

Yes your second post has made more sense with the restated question typed in properly, but again you seem to not be following what you have written.

As H has posted, your own question has the how part of what you are to type at the command line when executing the script.
Maybe you could write a little more as to which 'next line' you are talking about?

If you can explain what the 'next line' is you are referring to then we may be able to tell you what command you are looking for?
