How to handle Multiple Command Line arguments in VB ?

[VBQuery]

Hi Guys
I have a requirement that I have to accept multiple command line arguments in VB. Each argument has more than one predefined value.
For example lets say parameters are X and Y.
X can be 1 or 2 or 3. If no argument is specified default is "1".
Y can be A , B or C. If no argument is specified default is "A".
So this requires to validate the arguments after accepting them from command prompt.
I am new to VB, can you guys please let me know how do I start on this.

Thanks

Your can use the COMMAND() function, which returns a string, containing all of the user-supplied values as a single string. Then you will have to parse it and set the default values as needed yourself.

VB will help you in parsing with Split function, which will get a string with delimiter (say ",&quot, and put each item in an element of an array. Refer to MSDN for more info.
