sysCommandLine - BambooBasic

sysCommandLine

Category: System

Syntax:

sysCommandLine:String()

Parameters

None.

Returns

String

Summary

Returns the program's command line: everything typed after the program's name.

Returns the arguments after the program's own name, joined with spaces. The shell has already split them, so any argument with a space in it is put back in quotes: ./MyTool "level 1.txt" -fast gives "level 1.txt" -fast. Returns "" when nothing came after the name (the program was double-clicked, or run from the IDE).

sysArgCount and sysArg are usually easier: they split the line into its parts and take the quotes off.
