Executing my.exe with command line arguments
Executing my.exe with command line arguments
Hi all !!! 
Can somebody tell me if it is possible to pass parameters from the command line in the program (EXE) created in FlowStone-3 ?
And if so, how it can be implemented?

Re: Executing my.exe with command line arguments
Hi there, Lauma, welcome to the forum.
No, I don't think that is possible at the moment. Ruby has an 'ARGV' constant for getting at command line arguments, but when I tested, it seems that the FlowStone engine just swallows them without passing them in to the Ruby interpreter.
That would be a nice feature to have though - I could see FS being pretty handy for knocking together complex batch scripts etc., and it could be used to enable debugging modes etc.

All schematics/modules I post are free for all to use - but a credit is always polite!

Thanks Trogluddite
It would be cool (with parameters from command-line) , because that I can use my EXE on the server side via CRON or other task scheduler, or even via PHP (shell_exec).

Re: Executing my.exe with command line arguments
your flowstone app can read commands from plain text files, so if from command line you write something as "mycommand > commands.txt" then your app triggers that file and does something.
This is independent from your exe, but is a workaround.
