Hey charlesg, you might want to experiment with the gb.option and the GetOptions class
here's an example to get you started DIM opt AS NEW GetOptions("la:b:c:") IF opt["?"] = 1 PRINT "error parsing the arguments" ENDIF IF opt["l"] = 1 PRINT "found option l" ENDIF IF opt["a"] <> 1 AND opt["a"] <> 0 PRINT opt["a"] ENDIF IF opt["b"] <> 1 AND opt["a"] <> 0 PRINT opt["b"] ENDIF IF opt["c"] <> 1 AND opt["c"] <> 0 PRINT opt["c"] ENDIF Hope it helps Regards Dimitris On Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 2:59 AM, Steven James Drinnan <ste...@sjdsoft.hk>wrote: > short answer yes > > you retrieve it by using Application.Args[index] > > nb: Application.Args[0] is the program name > > Check in help for more details of how to use. > > Steven > > > On Mon, 2009-08-17 at 00:34 -0700, charlesg wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Can I pass a parameter to a Gambas program? > > e.g myprog.gambas parm1 > > > > How do I read the parameter? > > Any help gratefully received. > > > > rgds > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day > trial.
