Hello, I am testing a script requiring some arguments. The doc states wel how to get the args, but i get the message "Wrong arguments specified". How should the arguments and the parameters be defined on the commandline ?

Code: Select all

Holywood Myscript.hws arg1 = "hello", arg2 = "there" 

Thanks for help

Try this:

Code: Select all

Hollywood Myscript.hws -arg1="hello" -arg2="there"

Hollywood arguments are started with <->. All unsupported arguments are passed to the script's GetCommandLine().

Look at the Hollywood.guide more deeply

Hello

Thanks for the help,

That worked. The guide was not clear about this. I hunted (using Next which is very good for searching in an Amigaguide doc) for this info for nearly twenty minutes without succes. The logical place would have been under the GetCommandLine() item
