Answer / vipul dalwala

$1 is the filename u are passing from commnadline

i.e. sh sortAndUniq.sh filename.txt

So $1 = filename.txt

All the commnadline parameters passed to the script are get
stored in $1 , $2, $3....

For example : sh sortAndUniq.sh filename1.txt filename2.txt
filename3.txt

Then $1 = filename1.txt , $2 = filename2.txt , $3 =
filename3.txt
