Hi everybody,
do someone know how I can use ProgramParameter under Mac OS (10.7.2).
What I did:
(1) Create stupid program
Code: Select all
For i = 0 To CountProgramParameters()
PrintN(ProgramParameter(i))
Next
(2) Compile Options
- Executable Format = Console
(3) PureBasic has created a "test.app"
Code: Select all

(4) When I run the app with commands I retrieve only the following:
Code: Select all
test hello world
-bash: test: hello: unary operator expected
Any suggestions from your side?
Many thanks in advance,
Daniel

unary operator expected
That seems to be your clue - some sort of prefix or other syntax required, such as /h/e/l/l/o /w/o/r/l/d

'test' is a built-in bash 'program'
See here:

If it's anything like on Linux, you'll have to refer to your application as
And I think you start an "application bundle" with

Please try my following working code example. If you want to test
the example from the IDE you need to use OpenConsole(). Otherwise
you can delete it.
In order to start my example in a console you have to change the
"Executable format" in "Compiler/Compiler Options..." from "MacOS"
to "Console" before compiling and saving the example.
Before starting the compiled example you have to start a console
("Terminal"), change into the folder with your compiled "test" program
and start it with
./test hello world
An alternative way is to type in the complete path to "test":
(This is the correct path on
my Mac, of course you have to change it
to the correct path on
your Mac. Please note that I had to use double
quotes because the path contains a blank in the subfolder "MacOS X".)
"/Volumes/DATEN/Programmierung/PureBASIC/Beispiele/MacOS X/Downloads/Konsole/test1" hello world
Code: Select all
If OpenConsole()
If CountProgramParameters() = 0
PrintN("No program parameters detected!")
Else
For i = 0 To CountProgramParameters() - 1
PrintN(ProgramParameter(i))
Next
EndIf
PrintN("")
PrintN("Press <Enter> to continue...")
Input()
EndIf

Hi Shardik,
many thanks ... you're right ... in this way it works as expected.
I tried to combine GUI with Console and add the wrong information into the code.
Thx for your help,
Daniel

Here's an example of ProgramParameter() using a normal window.
Compile the following as "Test.app" to your desktop.
Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 400, 260, "Receive Parameters", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
EditorGadget(0, 5, 5, 390, 250)
For i = 0 To CountProgramParameters() - 1
AddGadgetItem(0, i, ProgramParameter(i))
Next
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf
End
Code: Select all
RunProgram("open", GetHomeDirectory() + "Desktop/Test.app --args Hello World", "")
