Counting arguments in the command line

I need to write a snip of code that will check the command line to make sure there are 5, no more or less, arguments. If not I have to return an error message. Anyone have any ideas?
Stephen

The command line args will be in a String[] passed to main(). Arrays have a length field that tells you how many elements they have.

How to pass in variables using the command line when starting ActionScript native app

How do I pass in variables or startup arguments using the command line when starting an ActionScript native app? For example, I have my app call MySweetWidget and it has been compiled with Adobe AIR captive runtime so now I have MySweetWidget.exe.
In the command line, I am calling MySweetWidget.exe and would like to pass in variables or properties to the application. I would assume that those variables are then read from the loaderInfo.parameters object.
Please let me know if the Adobe AIR runtime supports passing in parameters to the native runtime. If so, I would like help determining the correct format of how to pass in the variables. Then would you read those from the loaderinfo.parameters object?
Thanks,
Jeff

I found the answer to my own question:
Yes it is a supported feature. It is documented on the following page:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/desktop/NativeApp lication.html#event:invoke
When you subscribe to the invoke event of the NativeApplication it will subsequently dispatch the event and you read the e.arguments Array object to get the startup arguments passed into the native application.

Thanks a lot,

try checking relevant environment variables like the CLASSPATH.... a major source of failures in Windows is when in the classpath there is a path containing SPACES.... also enabling some "debug" or "verbose" flag (not sure how to do it) would provide more insight...

Connection string not in the command line argument.

Hi,
I found myself constantly looking for the debug connection string and to enter it in the "Command line arguments". I decided to create my Add-On base class from which all my add-ons inherit from.
In the constructor of the base Add-On class I determine the connection string based on whether the code is in debug more or not.
Example:
string connectionString = string.Empty;
#if DEBUG
    _connectionString = "0030002C0030002C00530041005000420044005F00440061007400650076002C0050004C006F006D0056004900490056";
#else
    // Get the log info
    if (Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().Length > 1 )
        _connectionString = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().GetValue(1).ToString();
#endif
I hope this help.

How to hide the command line arguments from solaris process

Hi All,
When I execute a JAR application from a java file using the Runtime.getRuntime, the command line arguments (user ID and Password details) which I passed for executing the application displayed on Solaris process (ps -ef).
Could anybody please help me, how can I hide either the process or the command line arguments from the Solaris process?
I cannot pass any asterix or any special character in place of password, because the executing application doesn't have any functionality to retreive the password which send as asterix characters.
Please help me
SumodeV

Thanks for all the response.
I have created a design and implement the functionality which executes the JAR application in Solaris environment without showing any details in the process details.
I have used the Java Reflection method, which invokes the JAR application. I am sharing the details here for all those who looking for it.
1, Inside the Customer application [Jar File is running for it], collect the necessary session details [Using System.get property method]
2, Create an independent Java file, which should be used to invoke the JAR application
3, Create the ProcessBuilder object and use a command - execute the Java file [a wrapper code] using normal Java command
4, Pass the necessary session details to the ProcessBuilder using the environment() function.
5. Collect the environment values in the independent Java file (Which was invoked by ProcessBuilder) and set details for its environment using System.setProperty.
6, Use reflection technique to invoke the JAR plugin [which you want to run]. You can use the standard Java functionality to read the MANIFEST file of JAR and load the main class using URLClassLoader.
7, Invoke the main method of the JAR file, which run the JAR application in Solaris window
This solution will make sure that the process cannot display any session details in the Solaris Environment.
Note: Use String[] array while create the command. Otherwise the JAR application cannot pop-up.
Regards
Sumode

Pass the command line argument (argc and argv) to a LabVIEW built shared library.

Hello,
I have successully use this trick to build a LabVIEW application that runs on Linux without X Display.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5D6EC36DCF43343786257449006919E6
I'd like to know if it's possible to pass the command line arguments ( ./TEST A B C D) directly into the shared library without having to pass the arguments using a array of strings which would require to write code using DSNewHandle, DSSetHandleSize, extract the arguments and ..... (I'm not proficient in C, but if I don't have a choice I will do it and improve my C skills).
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
Test(argc, argv);
return 0;
Thanks,
Michel
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, you can always flatten it back into a space separated single string and pass it like that. Basically reverse what the OS does when it calls your main function with the command line parameters. And while the first element in the array is always the program name itself you can just skip that here, but then format all the rest into a single string.

Passing arguments to osascript from the command line

I'm just learning how to use the Terminal at the moment and was wondering if anyone knew how to pass parameters from the command line to Applescript via osascript. I'm trying to use this as a function embedded in my .profile file so I don't have to type out the whole line each time I want to use an Applescript.
Just as an exercise, I'm trying to get osascript to pass a string of text to a dialog box using 'tell application "Finder" to display dialog "$1" '. But all this does is open a dialog box with "$1" in it! Anyone know how to get this to work?

How do I open a PDF to a specific page via the command line?

Several questions about opening PDFs from the Mac OS X command line:
1) How do I use the "open" command to open a PDF to a specific page? (I know I can open a document via: open doc_name.pdf)
2) How do I use the "open" command to pass multiple arguments (page no, zoom scale, view mode, etc...) to open a PDF file in a specific manner?
3) Does Preview handle the same parameters as Acrobat Reader? If not, what are the differences in options?
I've spent hours searching for this answer and have come up dry. I've downloaded Adobe's "PDF Open Parameters" document -- it lists all of the parameters I need, however I can't get any of them to work from the command line.
My goal: Open a PDF from the command line to a specific page. At first glance, I thought this would be simple to do and find -- however, after a lot of searching I haven't found an example on how to do it.
Anyone have any experience doing this, and care to share?
Much appreciated! ---> Kelsey

I don't know of any way to do what you want using the 'open' command. It can probably be done with Applescript, which you could call from a shell script. The Preview application doesn't seem to be scriptable. I don't use Acrobat, so I can't tell you anything about that. Looking through the dictionaries of the apps I do have, it seems that Skim (another PDF viewer) has an AS 'page' class. Below are a couple of links that may get you started. Look for more specific guidance in Applescript forums.

Is there a way to switch between workspaces in Spaces from the command line? I want to write a script to set up certain applications in certain workspaces (without having to do it manually each time)...

Is there a way to switch between workspaces in Spaces from the comnand line? I use several workspaces from Spaces, each workspace having a certain number of fixed applications running. Rather than set all this up each time I log on, I'd like to write a script from the command line (I use gawk) to automate this. Currently I have a gawk script that, given a directory, opens a few xterms whose working directory is the given directory, and opens "preview" applied to a certain file in that directory. However, at present I have to manually move an xterm through each workspace and run my gawk script in each workspace (applied to each directory that I'm working on).
There must be a better way...

Addendum: Can this be done via: open -a Spaces --args xxx , where xxx is some set of arguments (or something like this)?

Get the absolute path and filename of the file from the command line

Hi,
when we run the class we give the command
java <filename>
How can I capture the filename given above and get its absolute path inside the
public static void main(String [] args){}
args[0] gives me the command line argument after the filename. How do I capture the filename itself from the command line argument and also get that files absolute path
Thanks

I don't know of any way to capture the java command input, but there are ways to find out where the application is being run from. (the "absolute path")

Do i put -private-window in the command line of the shortcut?

can someone show me what to do with the -private-window command line of the shortcut? I have windows 8 pro. I want to make a shortcut for this. Thanks

Hi lolnyancats,
there are multiple ways how to start Firefox in private browsing mode. If you want to use a shortcut parameter, follow the instructions below:
# Create firefox shortcut;
# Right-click on the shortcut, choose properties;
# Edit location (not name), file path and file name followed by the command line argument "-private", e.g.: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -prvate;
# Save changes.
When you double click the modified shortcut you have just created, Firefox will start in private browsing window.
Other cmd line parameters you could possibly use and further info.: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments
