A question about parameter in skill.

Hi Andrew,

I have a question about parameter in skill.

When I using Csh I can use $1 $2 as input parameter in script.
How can I pass it to skill,if I include some skill script in my Csh script?
thanks.

    The other thing you could do is to set an environment variable containing the arguments inside your script:

    #!/bin/sh
    export ARGS="$0 $*"
    icfb -nograph -restore ab.il

    And then in the SKILL code (ab.il)

    args=listToVector(parseString(getShellEnvVar("ARGS")||""))
    printf("The script was called %s\n" args[0])
    printf("The arguments were '%s' and '%s'\n" args[1] args[2])
    exit()

    If I then do "runScript hello world" I get:

    The script was called runScript
    The arguments were 'hello' and 'world'

    Regards,

    Andrew.
