How would one use the ARGV array within a bas script?
I suspect I'm doing something wrong in a very basic way. But it
would be my understanding that something like this:
echo "${ARGV[0]}"
Would return the first value in the ARGV array. Instead I get an
empty space.
This brings me to something that could really be a boon to new people
if it were in the documentation.
There isn't a real list of available variables that Platypus gives to
a script. They are mentioned here and there. But they aren't
consolidated anywhere. And worse they are only shown used in or two
cases which can be very confusing. We don't need a use it like this
in PHP, PERL, BASH, etc. But we could at least have a list of how
the variable shows up in each of the major scripting languages.
Thanks beforehand for any help or pointers people can throw my way.
I appreciate it. :)
Jamie
