pass file in vb programme.

[Sasquatch69]

Hi,
i got a little problem. I made a Script in VB(not vbscript) who convert some caractere in a text file

My code:
Private Sub Main()
Dim temp As Byte
Open "D:\input.txt" For Binary As #1 Open "D:\output.txt" For Binary As #2
While Not EOF(1)
Get #1, , temp
If (temp = 59) Then 'if " ; "
temp = 138 ' replace by " è "
Put #2, , temp
ElseIf (temp = 61) Then
temp = 147 ' replace by " ô "
Put #2, , temp
ElseIf (temp = 58) Then ' :
temp = 133 ' replace by " à "
Put #2, , temp
ElseIf (temp = 62) Then
temp = 130 ' replace by " é "
Put #2, , temp
Else
Put #2, , temp
End If
Wend
' close file
Close #1
Close #2
End Sub

Now my problem is, I don't know how to pass a file to my application!! I make a .exe with this programme, and i need to create a exe application for every files i need to convert. How can i pass a variable(c:\newfile.txt) to a EXE???

Thanks

(sorry for my bad english)

check the command$ string:
-------------------
Private Sub Main()
msgbox "Input parameter: '" & command$ & "'"
end sub

Hi,

If i did understand, your problem, is to pass to an EXE, the path of a file to be read!

If so, you only have to access the COMMAND system var.
if your command line is

READLN.EXE "c:\Test.txt"

your Command var will be

"c:\Test.txt"

See your VB (MSDN) help on this matter!


I hope this helps.
