Hello at all
Is it possible to compile a source (Click on button or F5) with IDE and sending command parameter
/P <Preferences file> loads/saves all the configuration to/from the given file
/T <Templates file> loads/saves the code templates from/to the given file
/A <tools file> loads/saves the configuration of the external tool from/to this file
/S <Source path> overwrites the "Source path" setting from the preferences
/E <Explorer path> starts the Explorer tool with the given path
/L <Line number> moves the cursor to the given line number in the last opened file
/H <HistoryDatabase> specify the file to use for the session history database
/NOEXT disables the registering of the .pb extension in the registry
/LOCAL puts all preferences in the PureBasic directory instead of the user profile location
/PORTABLE the same as /LOCAL and /NOEXT combined
Have a good day

Yes, you just need add tool and select "Before Compile/Run"
And a tool will do anything what you want

Do you want your own sourcefile/programm receive command line arguments when compiled/run from within the IDE?
docs > The PureBasic IDE > Compiling your programs
Executable command-line
The string given here will be passed as the command-line to the program when running it from the IDE. The content of this string can be got with ProgramParameter().

(see screenshot in the doc for compiler options)
