It is often not necessary to create and use explicit variables in Automator (using the Set Value of Variable

, ... - also accessible as an array via $@
) instead, select as arguments
from the Pass input:

In this example, the selected Finder
items are passed as POSIX-style paths to the shell script.
That said, having a shell script process the data via stdin (using read -r
in a loop) works, too:
