Aside from the advice given, how about posting what you've written so far, and tell us what 'concepts' you've tried, and what you mean by "doesn't work"?

through the argument passing i am done the script.thanks for all your Suggestion.

create a temporary file with your requirments and redirect it to your script.
like
cat>>"/tmp/test/"<<EOF
cmd1
cmd2
cmd3
EOF
and redirect this to your script
for ex
./myapp < /tmp/test/
and then remove your temporary file
