make program with arguments

as the topic says i would like to make a program that accepts arguments , but i cant seem to find any info about it.
all i find is info about funtion arguments ><

please help , thank you.

Try capturing them as a var using the { } brackets.

So put something like this at the start of your code..

local arg = { ... }

You should then be able to work with each argument in the code by doing something like:

if arg[1] == "y" then
  do something
end

ok , i'll try that now then =D

What if i need to press Ctrl + Alt + 7 to make { and Ctrl + Alt + 0 to make } ?? (danish keyboard)

You can also the validate the number of args with

if #args ~= 4 then
  -- show usage
end

Maybe modify the edit program so that when a key such as an F key is pressed it will add them to the text…

Click Ctrl first and then do the shortcuts.

Alternatively, you can edit the edit program if it's single player.
Or if it's multiplayer, copy the edit program to the computer and then edit the program to use the Alt key to bring up the menu
