more command probs

[crptcblade]

for some reason, I can do this when I use a command line argument:

text1.Text = Command$

But I can't do this:

If (Command$ <> "") then
    text1.Text = Command$
End If

And I have no F**KING clue why its not working, I tried to use Command$ as the index of an array(it was an integer) and an error box comes up saying "Index out of bounds" when I hit debug and float the mouse over the Command$ as the index of the array and the TextTip says that Command$ = Empty, but it obviously has content, as I showed in the first code. What's the deal? Anybody?

Ummmm, it works great for me.
Try taking the () out of the IF statment.

Maybe give me more detail on your CODE.
Like what command$ is = to.

Not exactly, but simi-correct, invitro. Half a face --

If (Command$ <> "") then
    text1.Text = Command$
End If

If is a KEYWORD (or OPERATOR, depends on you), and not a function. You can either:

If (Command$ <> "") then
    text1.Text = Command$
End If

Or

IIf Command$ <> "", text1.Text = Command$, [False]
