Is there any way to add command line options to a delphi program, like
the 'c:' and '/q' added to the format command in dos?

The reason I ask is that I have a set of programs that I want to
connect to each other, so that I can get, for example, a spell
checker, speech synthesiser, text > english translator module, ect, to
be run automatically from the text editor, web browser, or email
viewer, so I need the user interface programs to be able to pass
information to the "function" programs about what data they should be
processing.

In addition to command line options, some of the programs may need to
use some form of interprogram variables, I'm using a combination of
the clipboard and txt files for this at the moment, is there a better
way?


Thanks in advance

Use "Paramcount" to get the number of parameters passed. The parameters can
be read from 'Paramstr(X)'. Where X is the paramters index. Index 0, is
always your programs filename.

jamie

use the paramstr(?)
it is 0 based index and is space separated.
if that bothers you you can always use the
CmdLine variable.
it contains the complete line..
