Summary

The command arguments

Syntax

the command arguments

Description

Evaluates to a list of command-line arguments passed to the program. Some arguments may not be passed in if they are "used up" by the LiveCode run-time environment (for example, the LiveCode IDE will detect and "use" the -mmap argument).

*Note
  • No filename conversion is performed on command line arguments, so some processing may be required before using a command line argument with any of the file handling syntax provided by the com.livecode.file module.

Examples

-- Program that only succeeds if it's run as the "true"
-- command.
variable tCommand as String
put the command name into tCommand
if tCommand ends with "true" then
quit with status 0
else
quit with status 1
end if
