get text from command line?

[ianhull]

hi all, how would I get the text from the commandline?

Heres how to do it in C, but I need to do it in lua.

thanks




strncpy(szText, lpCmdLine, MAX_CHARS - 1);

[RizlaUK]

there is a default variable that defines the commandline arguments


_CommandLineArgs
A numerically indexed table that contains the command line arguments passed into the AutoPlay application.

example usage

if _CommandLineArgs then
local CountArgs=Table.Count(_CommandLineArgs)
Dialog.Message("CommandLineArgs", CountArgs.." arguments were passed to the exe);
end

Thanks Riz, I have never worked with commandline before and I am a little confused.

Have you seen my post in the dev den? I really need to get the same functionality in Lua.

if you could have a look and let me know your thoughts it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

if _CommandLineArgs then
if _CommandLineArgs[1] then
Dialog.Message("Test", "Argument one:\r\n".._CommandLineArgs[1])
end
--andsoforth
end


or



if _CommandLineArgs then
for i, ArgString in _CommandLineArgs do
ListBox.AddItem("ListBoxObject", ArgString, "Data");

end
end
