How to parse item's state to .sh script file?

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules

As the title said, can anyone show me how to parse an item’s state or values to .sh script file using exec binding ??
For example, I have a switch item and a string (or number) item, I want to parse their state/values to .sh file so that I can implement several tasks. How can I do that?
Thanks in advance.
note: I am having OH 1.8.3 server on Raspberry Pi 3 Raspbian Jessie

Any idea please?

You cannot do it using the exec binding. You have to create a Rule and use executeCommandLine. Then you can do something like

val results = executeCommandLine("command to execute " + MyItem.state.toString, 5000)
logInfo("exec", results)

What if in my command require quotation marks, for example: epeak “Hello world”, then what is the syntax?

Just escape the quotes:

"speak \"Hello World\""
