Hello, I hope somebody can help me. I'm looking for a script or program, which will read a directory (which I specify), and export a ascii text file with the full path to the documents in that folder. Is there any such thing? How could I do this?

Thanks in advance.

Please disregard the above question...but I do have another

This (I think) is a quick one...

How do I write a script so that I can input a variable?

For example: lets say I wanted to change directories to something within /Library/WebServer/

and my script was called "webserver" and had this inside it:

------

#!/bin/sh
cd /Library/WebServer/XXXXXXX

------

I want to change directories to something within /Library/WebServer (in this example "Logs") by typing:

./webserver -Logs

What do I need to replace the XXXXX with so that this works?

In this example, I want the result to change directories to /Library/WebServer/Logs.

I hope this is understandable. Thanks in advance...

It's ok, I fooled around, and got the answer. For other interested newbies, the answer was:

$1 (replaces the XXXXXX's)
