How can I pass arguments to a command in unix? Eg. For example, if I have to open a file, R> vi john/pic/mars/NASA/rover.txt In:

R> vi john/pic/mars/NASA/rover.txt

In the above vivi command, I want to replace "mars" with a variable, and pass the variable value in the same line. Eg. R> vi john/pic/$variable/NASA/rover.txt | $varaiable=pluto Off-course, as in:

R> vi john/pic/$variable/NASA/rover.txt | $varaiable=pluto

Of course this doesn't work. But I hope my question is clear. Can Can anyone help me with this?
