Say I want to get the value of last command line argument using the value in $# (or some other way if u can suggest) how do I do it??

$"$#"
`$"$#"`

eval last_arg=\$$#
echo $last_arg

$_ is the variable. Works in Korn and bash shells:

$ ls -l test.log
-rw-r-----   1 xxx    xxxxxxx      49 Feb 11 08:42 test.log
$ wc -l $_
       3 test.log

eval echo \$$# will do

OR
eval "echo \$$#"

...any one of them
