Howto accept arguments ?

[theulimateunltd]

Hi all,

I'm making an editor. I want to start a given file in the editor.
For example notepad.exe myfiletoedit.txt This opens  myfiletoedit.txt
in notepad. 

How do I get my libertybasic program to acccept the argument
myfiletoedit.txt ?

Other example:

[Rod]

Run notepad.exe myfiletoedit.txt

If the file name contains spaces you will need to wrap it in quote characters.

You may also search out examples of using the command line argument when an icon is clicked. You need to tell us a bit more detail of how you want to start the editor and where you want it to get the file name from.
