octave script HELP

[yasmin]

Hello i really need help with this i'm new to octave !
i was trying to make a bash script that runs octave  and some octave
commands but it didn't work
so i made 2 scripts , the first one runs octave and then go to the other
script and passes an argument to that other script, through:      octave
script.sh 1
here is the other script/the octave script  :

#! script.sh -q -f

M = dlmread("/dev/shm/waitingTime"$1".txt");
x = M(:,1);
y = M(:,2);
WT = stem(x,y);
`saveas(WT, "/dev/shm/wt"$1".pdf");`

M = dlmread('/dev/shm/thinkingTime'$1'.txt');
x = M(:,1);
y = M(:,2);
TT = stem(x,y);
`saveas(TT, "/dev/shm/TT"$1".pdf");`

close all

the problem is in the line M = ...
at the $1 which is the argument sent to octave ...now i really don't get
where the problem is any help ?
