feeding a script from standard input

feeding a script from standard input

[Jeffrey Holle]

I have a script, call it genpyste that looks like this:

	#!/bin/sh
	pyste --out=. --multiple --module=mymodule Parameter.pyste

The problem with it is that this is just a start of it.
When I'm done, there will need to be about 30 parameters like 
Parameter.pyste.

I'm wondering if I can do something like this from the command line:

	ls *.pyste | ./genpyste

What, if anything, can be done to the genpyste script to work like this?

Why not make it like this:

#!/bin/sh
pyste --out=. --multiple --module=mymodule "$*"

and then call it like
$ ./genpystr *.pyste

Better to use "$@".

Otherwise if you do something like  *.foo and any of those names has spaces
in it, it would fail.  Only "$@" will get that case right.

Even the people who designed that feature call it magic.
