COMMAND

s = COMMAND

Returns a string s containing the SmallBASIC startup command line options.

Example 1: SDL version (GUI)

Running the following line from the command line:

LINUX:   sbasicg -r test.bas abc xyz fileName
WINDOWS: sbasicg.exe -r test.bas abc xyz fileName

When “test.bas” is:

PRINT COMMAND

Will print “abc xyz fileName”

Note: When using the paramter -r in the above shown example, sbasicg will from now on always start the programm. If you want, that sbasicg starts again in edit-mode, please use the parameter -e

LINUX:   sbasicg -e test.bas
WINDOWS: sbasicg.exe -e test.bas

Example 2: Non-graphical console version (cygwin or linux)

Running the following line from the command line:

LINUX:   sbasic test.bas abc xyz fileName
WINDOWS: sbasic.exe test.bas abc xyz fileName

When “test.bas” is:

PRINT  COMMAND

Will print “abc xyz fileName”

Example 3: Use SPLIT to separate parameters

LINUX:   sbasicg -r test.bas abc xyz fileName
WINDOWS: sbasicg.exe -r test.bas abc xyz fileName

When “test.bas” is:

s = COMMAND()

split s, " ", parameters

print "First parameter : "; parameters[0]
print "Second parameter: "; parameters[1]
print "Third parameter : "; parameters[2]

' Output:
' First parameter : abc
' Second parameter: xyz
' Third parameter : fileName
