Read command-line arguments into VB program 3

[valdosta]

Hi,

How can I read a command-line argument into VB6 program? i.e. c:\>myprogram.exe para1

Thanks in advance!

Check out the [tt]Command$[/tt] function in VB help which returns the command line string.

The "Command" function returns the argument portion of the command-line used to launch the app.

(paraphrased from the VB help file)

---------

You can also set the command line arguments on the "Make" tab of the project properties dialog so you can test your app while coding.

What fun is a technology if you can't crash the OS?

You can use the Command() function.

In your example c:\>myprogram.exe para1, the Command function will hold the value "para1"
