hi, that the last line don't give a output is correct. the $@ works like a stack. if you fetch the first argument it will be removed and then the next one will be the first. if you want to access the argument more than one time you should use variables to thore them.
if you want to handle sms by the first word you can create for each word an own sms-service with the keyword like group = sms-service keyword = xyz exec = /.../xyz.sh ... group = sms-service keyword = abc exec = /.../abc.sh ... ... then %k is the first word %s is the second one and %r is the rest of the text. possibly it should be an option for you. to check if a sms comes in from a phone should be done in the script. for example by a file per vote with the sender numbers... the reason that you can see + instead of " " and %2B instead of "+" ... is the urlencoding... thats not a bug. here is a list: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp i would replace the characters in your script. an auto-generated receipt is also possible with kannel, i think. but i can't currently remeber how. br, thomas On Mon, Jun 07, 2010 at 04:09:21PM +0200, Martin J. wrote: | Hi, | | Yes, I understand most bash basics (and google what I don't understand) so I think everything more or less works, thanks: | | =============== | | mac$ which bash | /bin/bash | | =============== | | cat sms.sh | #!/bin/bash | | for var in $@; do | echo "$var" | tee -a incoming_sms_messages.txt | done | echo "-----------------------" | tee -a incoming_sms_messages.txt | | #echo Sms received, parameters are: $@ | | =============== | | | The last echo line doesn't work...

I think/hope I can do this myself - however, if you have any hints/clues, please let me know :-) | | And then I want to use lynx to auto-generate a receipt based on the vote ("thank you for your vote on xxxx")...
