RE: Passing options to a batch scripts

[Doug Sturim]

That's it.  It is also in the 2.1.28 documentation, which I guess has
changed since last I looked at it about a month ago.  So RTFM holds true.
Thanks Tristan!

Doug,

The variable argv contains the command line arguments for a script.
For example, the script:



#!/usr/contrib/bin/octave -q
#NB - you will need to put the path to _your_
#octave binary on this first line!

for i=1:nargin
  printf("%s\n",argv( i ));
endfor



Will print out any arguments entered on the command line after
the name of the script.

Hope this helps,

Tristan.
