Re: What's the meaning of "echo $@"?

[wpmills@Mills-USA.com (W. Paul Mills)]

$@ returns the arguments to the script, similar to $*

The following bash script will show the differences.


x------------- myargs.sh ------------------
#!/bin/bash
# myargs.sh

IFS=";"

echo "$@"

echo "$*"

echo $@

echo $*

echo "$# arguments"

exit 0

x-------- end myargs.sh -----------------
