Sorry about the noobish question but...
How do I capture data thats piped to my script?
For instance,
ls -al | myscript.sh
How do I access the output from ls -al in myscript.sh?

A basic simple way
#!/usr/bin/ksh
cat - | while read LINE
do
echo aa${LINE}bb
done
The first command in your script will accept the input from the pipe. So if you just want to capture it to a file, then try...
cat > file1
cheers guys
