command line arguments

[David GD Wilson]

Does anyone know if it is possible to take in command line arguments using
LabVIEW, then use the parameter to configure the program??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Man, there's got to be an easier way to navigate the forums. That's alotta clicks to get to the end of the unanswered questions. Any possibility of a "jump to" option (hint hint webmaster/moderator if any exist)?

When you build a LV application, you can configure an option to pass command line arguments to your program. Sorry I don't recall off the top of my head which page it's on, but it is there -- I've used it! 😉

Then, you can use the Application property node and choose Application>>Command Line Arguments. You'll get an array of strings from which you can parse your arguments.

You can use www.tinyurl.com for trimming those pesky long URLs. 😄 Works like a charm.
