Program parameters

Hi everyone,

I have seen some programs have an ability to pass parameters down as you call the program, they were put in in a format:

> program -parameter

How you do you make these in a program? I not seen a tutorial on this topic.

Thanks.

Use args = … But with brackets around the …
I made a parser api for that formating but its buggy.

To clarify what EveryOS said - three dots (…) represent command line arguments. If you just use … then you'll capture the first command line argument. If you want to capture multiple command line arguments you'll need to capture them in a table like so…

local tArgs = { ... }

From there tArgs[1] will be the first argument, tArgs[2] will be the second, etc.
