Passing arguments to scripts

Leffmann · 23 January 2009, 05:35

I was hoping that "script A B C" would pass the arguments into the local $0 $1 $2 etc. but unfortunately it doesn't. Is it possible to do this in a single line somehow without writing a tool for it? I'd be happy to use an existing tool if there is one.

If you mean AmigaDos, then this is how to do it:

Code:

.key opt1,opt2,opt3,opt4

echo <opt1>
echo <opt2>
echo <opt3>
echo <opt4>

Or:

Code:

.key opt1,opt2,opt3,opt4
.bra {
.ket }

echo {opt1}
echo {opt2}
echo {opt3}
echo {opt4}

You can make the argument names just about anything you want, and they're displayd when you type: scriptname ?
