Mark,
thank you very much for your explanations.
It works now.
Would you please be so kind to also explain what for the
argumentArray can be used?
GetOpt(grammar [, argumentArray])
Okay, i could use it for testing in the LC IDE, so i do not need to
compile and execute the standalone.
But is there another scenario where it would make sense to include
that array in the call?
It just makes it more flexible - you may need to pre-process the
argument array before processing it for options - or perhaps some
commands are just shorthand for others, so it allows you to separate the
arguments from the thing which uses them e.g. in C, the main function
passes you argv and argc, so you can in principal substitute at your
leisure - indeed GetOpt() is based on the 'standard' C function getopt
which does the same thing with the same grammer... The latter requires
you pass in the argument array.
The environment function can also return "development command line"
The dictionary says about that : The stack is running in the
development environment with the "-ui" command line option.
So would i be able to run a stack by running the LC IDE with -ui, add
the stack as parameter and add also command line options, which then
could be parsed with getop()?
Heh - I can't remember off the top of my head exactly what does work
there - the licensed editions of LC were always a bit different from
community. I did have to make some tweaks for 9.6,4 though to ensure all
our build systems still run (we use LiveCode for a fair bit of stuff
which occurs after the engine is built) so perhaps try it and see? :)
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
