This works for me (Excel 2013): Public Sub StartExeWithArgument() Dim strProgramName As String Dim strArgument As String strProgramName = “C:\Program Files\Test\foobar.exe” strArgument = “/G” Call Shell(“””” & strProgramName & “”” “”” & strArgument & “”””, vbNormalFocus) End Sub With inspiration from here https://stackoverflow.com/a/3448682.
The suggestions for boost::program_options and GNU getopt are good ones. However, for simple command line options I tend to use std::find For example, to read the name of a file after a -f command line argument. You can also just detect if a single-word option has been passed in like -h for help. #include <algorithm> … Read more
If you want to have your arguments C style (array of arguments + number of arguments) you can use $@ and $#. $# gives you the number of arguments. $@ gives you all arguments. You can turn this into an array by args=(“$@”). So for example: args=(“$@”) echo $# arguments passed echo ${args[0]} ${args[1]} ${args[2]} … Read more
If your shell is bash (amongst others), a shortcut for $(cat afile) is $(< afile), so you’d write: mycommand “$(< file.txt)” Documented in the bash man page in the ‘Command Substitution’ section. Alterately, have your command read from stdin, so: mycommand < file.txt
Unfortunately you cannot reliably use non-ASCII characters with command-line apps that use the Windows C runtime’s stdlib, like Java (and pretty much all non-Windows-specific scripting languages really). This is because they read their input and output using a locale-specific code page by default, which is never a UTF, unlike every other modern OS which uses … Read more
With this Python: import sys print(sys.argv) And invoked with this command: >python q15121717.py 127.0.0.1 I get this output: [‘q15121717.py’, ‘127.0.0.1’] I think you are not passing a argument to your Python script Now you can change your code slightly to take a server form the command line or prompt for a server when none is … Read more
It’s more complicated than that though! I was having related problem (writing front-end .exe that will call the back-end with all parameters passed + some extra ones) and so i looked how people do that, ran into your question. Initially all seemed good doing it as you suggest arg.Replace (@”\”, @”\\”).Replace(quote, @”\”+quote). However when i … Read more
The ?type=daily argument (ending up in the $_GET array) is only valid for web-accessed pages. You’ll need to call it like php myfile.php daily and retrieve that argument from the $argv array (which would be $argv[1], since $argv[0] would be myfile.php). If the page is used as a webpage as well, there are two options … Read more
The difference is subtle; “$*” creates one argument separated by the $IFS variable, while “$@” will expand into separate arguments. As an example, consider: for i in “$@”; do echo “@ ‘$i'”; done for i in “$*”; do echo “* ‘$i'”; done When run with multiple arguments: ./testvar foo bar baz ‘long arg’ @ ‘foo’ … Read more
Type the following command to import sql data file: $ mysql -u username -p -h localhost DATA-BASE-NAME < data.sql In this example, import ‘data.sql’ file into ‘blog’ database using vivek as username: $ mysql -u vivek -p -h localhost blog < data.sql If you have a dedicated database server, replace localhost hostname with with actual … Read more
