How do you assign the value of a parameter to a variable in UNIX?


Remove set.

FAV_COLOR=$1echo "My fav color is ${FAV_COLOR}"

Or if you want to set it so that it is available to subsequent programs run in the shell:

export FAV_COLOR=$1echo "My fav color is ${FAV_COLOR}"

The export keyword is described fairly well here.
