Command Line Arguments: How??

[Nigorr]

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??

 
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

//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,

//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 ;"??

without quotes
