The following data types with the corresponding values are permitted: Input parameters 1 - kInt : Integer or integer variable, e.g.:     kInt, "myint", 12     kInt, "myint", k 2 - kFloat : Decimal number or decimal number variable, e.g.:     kFloat, "myfloat", 3.1415     kFloat, "myfloat", pi 3 - kString : Text or char* or String variable, e.g:     kString, "mystr", "Hello"     kString, "mystr", str Ein- und Ausgabeparameter Only variables of the executing script are permitted as values! -1 - kInt : Integer variable, e.g:     -kInt, "myint", k -2 - kFloat : Decimal number variable, e.g:     -kFloat, "myfloat", pi -3 - kString, char* variable, e.g:     -kString, "mycharstr", str (with str defined as char* or char[N]) -4 : String variable, e.g.:     -4, "mystr", str (with str defined as String)

Preconditions

#include "internal/types.h"

The example executes the script aaa.cpp of your desktop.

#include "internal/types.h"

int main ()
{
    int		res;
    String	str		= string::alloc ();

    res = run_cscript (0, "$DESKTOP/aaa.cpp",
     						kString, 	"mystr",	"Hello Paul",
     						kInt,		"myint",	123,
     						kFloat, 	"myfloat", 	3.1415926,
     						-4,			"strout", 	str);
    showmessage ("str = '%s'\nResult %d", str, res);
    return 0;
}

// With aaa.cpp, for example, like this:
//
int main ()
{
    showmessage ("%s\n%d\n%f", mystr, myint, myfloat);
    string::set (strout, mystr);
    string::append (strout, " (from sub-script)");

    return 0;
}
