200 extra pts:From 'run' Hello.exe "My String" passes String in program


200 extra points, I asked it in the wrong topic
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20932956/From-'run'-Hello-exe-My-String-passes-String-in-program.html

Is it possible to pass a variable from the command line ('Run' in windows) just by opening it providing a parameter from the command line.

Example:

I have a VB EXE called 'Hello.exe'

using a Short-Cut or user types under 'run'

Hello.exe  "My String"

The program receieves a String to use in code


What data types may you pass.

You only have to put this in your code:
Text1.Text = Command()

And then start your program like Hello.exe 'My string'

Sorry about the two Question Posts.

I will figure out how to handle this

-JP
Just create a new project. Add the following code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
    MsgBox Command()
    end
End Sub

Compile it, make an exe (fe project1.exe)

Then run - cmd:

project1.exe "Hello"
Sorry I created a mess, not only did I ask the question under the wrong area, I accidently posted it twice.

I will give  pg_india and Dhaest points on each question  pg_india was first to answer but Dhaest clearified it better.


Only one question remains the data types this supports and can you have multiple variables.

Thank You,

-JP
