Bash scripting

[Bryce C]

It moves the second parameter passed to the first's variable if there was a match.  I don't want to be tied down to a certain set/order of the parameters.  I'm simply trying to move/rename $2 to $1 which is very difficult because a variable name can't be number.
Hope that helps.
