Command Line Arguments

[MattJ]

In the same way that (when writing) you can forget how to spell the simplest of words...

I've completely forgotten how to retrieve command line arguments passed when the application is started. So, if myapp.exe is executed like this...

c:\myapp\myapp.exe /hello

...how on earth do I retrieve the "/hello" bit in code?

This is easy - I've done it before! I've just completely forgotten how!

Yours,

Matt

Use the Command keyword.

Private Sub Form_Load()
    MsgBox Command$
End Sub

Dim CommandLine as String
Dim SubC1 as Integer

CommandLine = Command$
'Get command line.

SubC1 = InStr(1, CommandLine, "/hello", vbTextCompare)
If SubC1 <> 0 Then
'commandline contains /hello
'do the rest of your stuff
End If

hope it helps,
larryn
