This won't do what the OP wants as it expands the command line arguments
in quotes. He has a directory of files that need quotes.

Incidentally, you can replace

	echo "Use: command codectype outputfilename"

with

	echo "Use: $0 codectype outputfilename"

$0 will be substituted by the name of the command exactly as typed on the
command line.
