Re: Command Line parameter for executible

Yes,
Just declare as many parameters as you may include in the command line and then place a PARAMETERS statement in your Main program. e.g.
* MAIN.PRG
PARAMETERS p_c1, p_c2

If pcount() > 0                && Check for parameters
   IF pcount() >1
       Option2 = p_c2      && Got Both
   ELSE
       Option2 = ""            && Just the first
   ENDIF
   Option1 = p_c1
ELSE                                && Neither
   Option1 = ""
   Option2 = ""
ENDIF

Note: All parameters will come in a strings, and a space will signal the end of a parameter, unless it's inside of quotes ("")

I am using Foxpro 5.0.

I wanted to start an executible with a parameter. For example,

MyApplication.exe /Monday

So, if the code sees the exe alone. It acts one way, however, if it
sees Monday, the code executes another set of instructions.

I can pass parameters to executibles with Visual Basic. Can I do the
same thing in Foxpro ?
