Reading the command line in VB6

[cbc2]

It seems to me that many years ago, I wrote a VB6 program that would read the command line when it ran and process the data (like a folder name or something).

Unfortunately, I am old now and have forgotten how to do this (or maybe forgotten that I actually did it.)

Is there an easy way to do this?

Strangely enough, I can still remember how to do it in Atari 8 basic (which was a chore) but not in VB6.

Help?

Try using Command$ to get command line parameters. If you need to split this into several parameters there is an OS provided CommandLineToArgvW API which is used by dir, curl, ping, etc. command line utilities i.e. it provides the canonical way to split utility/application parameters. Here is a sample VB6 code which uses it.
