hi guys,
i find that i need to turn one thing on & off in a compiled exe
no way you can use a check box or what have you.
i've used switches since win3.1 & dos but i've never
programed one in ..
vds4 manual says 1-9 can be used but how?

would someone take pitty on this slacker and post a bit of code
showing me how its done?
thanks
georges
btw: thanks pgware for the response to my email question.

When you run your compiled program like this:

SS,
tried your example but get error code "can't find file"

skit3000 ,
i understand the shift command but the real working
of the code for the program itsself i'm still vauge on.

so you have
progy.exe on
is that 'on' contained in the variable %1 ?

so in the code you :
if @equal(%1,on)
do that
else if @not(@equal (%1,on))
don't do that
end

thanks for the inlightenment

It was just an example, you could compile the code I gave you as 'c:\example.exe' and then run that exe with those command line switches.

Yes if you used my example, %1 would hold '/on'.
