Pass arguments to script

Question

I have shell script that pass arguments to script, like this:

script.sh argA argB arg1 arg2 arg3 argN

ArgA and ArgB consider for name and family.

Arg1 ... argN are phone numbers. (Maybe 1 to N depend to user input)

Here is my script:

for var in "$@"
do
    echo "$var"
done

"$@" pass all arguments, but I need do this from third argument and use ArgA, ArgB somewhere else in my script.

Any recommendation?

Answer 1

You can use shift to move down the line of parameters.

name=$1
family=$2
shift 2

for var in "$@"
do
  something_with "$var"
done

shift 2 will essentially remove parameters 1 and 2 and restart at 3 (arg1).
