getCommandLine

getCommandLine(): String;

The getCommandLine method of the Node class returns a string containing the current command line of the node of the receiver object.

In JADE thin client mode, this method returns the command line file from the application server. (Use process.getCommandLine to return the current command line of the presentation client.)

The command line of the specified node instance is returned, which does not have to be the current node. If you require the command line of the current node, use the node environmental object (system variable).

The following example shows the use of the getCommandLine method.

vars
    cmdLine, myOption : String;
    int               : Integer;
begin
    cmdLine := node.getCommandLine;                 // get command line
    // look for my command line option ('myOption')
    int     := cmdLine.pos('myOption', 1);
    if int <> 0 then
        int := cmdLine.pos('=', int) + 1;           // look for '='
        // skip any blanks after the '='
        cmdLine.scanWhile(' ', int);
        // return input up to next blank
        myOption := cmdLine.scanUntil(' ', int);
        write myOption;
    endif;
end;
