Command Line Arguments: How??

I have the following code. It is just the main part.
How do I use command line arguments to control which section of code is executed??

Code:

---


public static void Main(string[] args) {
string fromDir;
DateTime startTime = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine("Copy SCO files from CDSWEB to local Tomcat folder");

//Do this with -lib
startInt = 39;
fromDir = "F:\\Jdev9i_conf\\mywork\\SCO\\SCO_Main\\lib";
toDir = "C:\\Java\\Apache\\Tomcat\\webapps\\sco\\WEB-INF\\lib\\";
ProcessDirectory(fromDir);

//Do this with -html
startInt = 47;
fromDir = "F:\\Jdev9i_conf\\mywork\\SCO\\SCO_Main\\public_html";
toDir = "C:\\Java\\Apache\\Tomcat\\webapps\\sco\\";
ProcessDirectory(fromDir);

//Do this with -class
startInt = 43;
fromDir = "F:\\Jdev9i_conf\\mywork\\SCO\\SCO_Main\\classes";
toDir = "C:\\Java\\Apache\\Tomcat\\webapps\\sco\\WEB-INF\\classes\\";
onlyFileType = ".class";
excludeFolder = ".jsps";
ProcessDirectory(fromDir);

}

You would need to do switch statement.

This is how you would do it

Code:

---

//main entry point for program
public static void Main(string[] args){//this is what takes the command line arguments

string fromDir;
DateTime startTime = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine("Copy SCO files from CDSWEB to local Tomcat folder");

        switch(args){
                case "-lib": //Do this with -lib
                        startInt = 39;
                        fromDir = "F:\\Jdev9i_conf\\mywork\\SCO\\SCO_Main\\lib";
                        toDir = "C:\\Java\\Apache\\Tomcat\\webapps\\sco\\WEB-INF\\lib\\";
                        ProcessDirectory(fromDir);
                        break;
                case "-html": //Do this with -html
                        startInt = 47;
                        fromDir = "F:\\Jdev9i_conf\\mywork\\SCO\\SCO_Main\\public_html";
                        toDir = "C:\\Java\\Apache\\Tomcat\\webapps\\sco\\";
                        ProcessDirectory(fromDir);
                        break;
                case "-class": //Do this with -class
                        startInt = 43;
                        fromDir = "F:\\Jdev9i_conf\\mywork\\SCO\\SCO_Main\\classes";
                        toDir = "C:\\Java\\Apache\\Tomcat\\webapps\\sco\\WEB-INF\\classes\\";
                        onlyFileType = ".class";
                        excludeFolder = ".jsps";
                        ProcessDirectory(fromDir);
                        break;
                default:
                        Console.WriteLine("usage incorrect ....");
                        break;
        }

}

Hope that helped

Thankyou, that was pretty easy, I have been using JAVA and didn't think switch took a string, because in JAVA it only accepts type int.

But this would only take the first arugment, wouldn't it? So I would actually need,

Code:

---

//main entry point for program
public static void Main(string[] args){//this is what takes the command line arguments

        string fromDir;
        DateTime startTime = DateTime.Now;
        Console.WriteLine("Copy SCO files from CDSWEB to local Tomcat folder");
       
        foreach(string args1 in args) {
                switch(args1){
                        case "-lib": //Do this with -lib
                        startInt = 39;
                        fromDir = "F:\\Jdev9i_conf\\mywork\\SCO\\SCO_Main\\lib";
                        toDir = "C:\\Java\\Apache\\Tomcat\\webapps\\sco\\WEB-INF\\lib\\";
                        ProcessDirectory(fromDir);
                        break;
                case "-html": //Do this with -html
                        startInt = 47;
                        fromDir = "F:\\Jdev9i_conf\\mywork\\SCO\\SCO_Main\\public_html";
                        toDir = "C:\\Java\\Apache\\Tomcat\\webapps\\sco\\";
                        ProcessDirectory(fromDir);
                        break;
                case "-class": //Do this with -class
                        startInt = 43;
                        fromDir = "F:\\Jdev9i_conf\\mywork\\SCO\\SCO_Main\\classes";
                        toDir = "C:\\Java\\Apache\\Tomcat\\webapps\\sco\\WEB-INF\\classes\\";
                        onlyFileType = ".class";
                        excludeFolder = ".jsps";
                        ProcessDirectory(fromDir);
                        break;
                default:
                        Console.WriteLine("usage incorrect ....");
                        break;
                }
        }
}

How do you get your code to indent I have tried using tabs and spaces but it doesn't work, do i need to put in "& nbsp ;"??

use these

Code:

---

//

without quotes

I forgot to close the code tag so i had two of these "[ code ]"
