Hi,

It must be a simple problem, but I cannot find the solution.
I want to start a program written with Basic 4PPC with a program parameter, e.g. MyProgram.exe with as parameter How should I do it?. The ? is not important. Should I use quotes, handle it like 5 parameters?
I tried a lot of thinks, without success so far.

Please, a little bit of help.

Harry

Hello Harry,

it's a common problem searching for something you don't know... :sign0161:

But as you already mentoined, the easy answer can be found here: Command Line Arguments.

Hallo specci48,

Finding the parameters in the program is not the problem, but how to specify those in the activation of the program.

I thought that was what you meant, but you are not telling how you activate. By Shell()? Shortcut?

you can actvate it in the windowsw cmd window: commandline.exe /command for example. "Shell" should compute also.
More than one parameters are possible by split string.

Best regards

Hi guys,

Thanks for your help! I have taken another approach to solve this small problem.

The user has to give a description of one item in his own language. I ask that description once and store it in the Registry and also save it for recovery after a hard reset.
