VB Forum / General 2 / December 2004trapping parameters by launch of program
Hi all, I'm really a newbie. How can I trap (read in my program) the parameters which where giving at the launch of the my program? thanks for any tips Danny > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > thanks for any tips > Danny You can use the "command" function (parameterstring = command) To test it in the VB environment, you can go to the Project Properties under the "Make" tab and set the argument there. If you type command and get help on it, there is a good example Raoul, What I want to achieve is receiving a variable that has been send when I launch my program. ex.: c:\foto\foto.exe filename.bmp I want to know the filename that has been given. > > Hi all, > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > the "Make" tab and set the argument there. > If you type command and get help on it, there is a good example > Raoul, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > I want to know the filename that has been given. That is *exactly* what command will give you. *Whatever* parameters were passed. For example: c:\program files\program.exe /picture.bmp, sound.wav will return "/picture.bmp, sound.wav" indead. it works. Thank you very much Raoul. > > Raoul, > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > will return "/picture.bmp, sound.wav" Here is a snippet of code I wrote to handle command line switches that might help: --snip-- If IDEMode = True Then strCommand = "-d -t10" Else strCommand = Command End If strCmdArray = Split(strCommand, " ") For intLoop = 0 To UBound(strCmdArray) strCommand = strCmdArray(intLoop) Select Case Left(strCommand, 2) Case "-t" If Val(Mid(strCommand, 3)) < 10 Or Val(Mid(strCommand, 3)) > 60 Then GoTo CmdError tmrPing.Interval = Val(Mid(strCommand, 3)) * 1000 Case "-d" blnDebug = True Case "-?" GoTo CmdError Case Else GoTo CmdError End Select Next --snip-- As you can see, it allows for multiple command switches. This can be improved of course, and IIRC I do have a rather advanced one somewhere, this was just the one I found first. Cheers G |
