Is it possible to pass variables on to scripts or subroutines in kix.

E.g.: if I have a script, such as 'dircompare.kix' on the wanadoo website and I have a number of directories I want to compare, can I call the script and pass it the directories to work with.

It would envisage the script looking somthing like this:

<<<
call script name varable1 varable2
>>>

The two variables would get picked up by the called script , and in the case of the one above take varable1 as the source directory and v2 as the destination.

Is this beyond the capabilities of kix?

Not meaning to be stupid.

Can I assume that using somthing like this would work then?

;Specify two varables

$GlobalSource = "j:\desktop"
$GlobalDestination =ReadValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders","Desktop")
IF (Substr($dir1,Len($dir1),1) <> '\')
$GlobalDestination=GlobalDestination+"\" ; - destination directory -
ENDIF
;Call Script

Call "dircompare.kix"

{repeat for other directories}

etc, etc...

With the called script using $GlobalSource and destination as the directories..

code:

---

;test.txt
break on 
$GlobalDestination =ReadValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders","Desktop") 
Call "C:\KiX4.02\test2.txt"
  

---

code:

---

;test2.txt
break on
$GlobalDestination ?
"hit any key" ?
get $_ 

---

Like I said, a quick little test will enlighten.
