Bash scrpit question

[JoeyJoeJo]

I am making my first bash script with some progress. I have gotten the script to run 100% correctly. i have part the script wich uses the program sendEmail to do just that. I was wondering how I could make it so it asks the user of the script what the destination email address is and then send it to that address. I know this involves variables, but I'm new to bash.

If I need to post my script, just let me know.

How about this:

echo -n "Enter e-mail address: "
read address

Then the variable $address holds whatever the user typed.
