Hi,

I want to create my own generator, I know how to pass the file\_name at  
command prompt for the generator. I need help for passing and receiving  
other arguments to the generator.

For example

ruby script/generate genertor\_name controller\_name arg1 arg2 arg3

```
               How to access the values of arg1, arg2 etc.

```

Regards,  
Kiran
