FB_ARGC

Intrinsic define (macro value) set by the compiler

Syntax

__FB_ARGC__

Description

Substituted with the number of arguments passed in on the command line including the name of the executable.
(for example : myprogram parm1, parm2, param3 --> __FB_ARGC__ = 4)

__FB_ARGC__ is the name of a parameter passed to the program's implicit main function, and therefore is only defined in the module level code of the main module for an application.

Remarks

Differences from QB

  • New to FreeBASIC

Examples

Dim i As Integer

For i = 0 To __FB_ARGC__ - 1

        Print "arg "; i; " = '"; Command(i); "'"

Next i
