Dear ferret users,
I was wondering how to pass command line arguments that include blanks
to a ferret script.
!--- Ferret script: tmp.jnl ----
say 1st--($1)--
say 2nd--($2)--
say 3rd--($3)--
#-- shell command line ----
$ /usr/local/ferret-7.3/bin/ferret_v7.3 -script tmp.jnl "hello" "a b
c" "world"
1st--hello--
2nd--a--
3rd--b--
$
(How does ferret obtain the command line parameters? It seems to me to
be harder to get the above result than to get "a b c" as a single
string . . . )
Best regards,
Ryo
