How about this macro:
macro run(file, args...)
return esc(:(ARGS = $args; include($file)))
end
For example:
---------------------------------------------
$ cat ./test.jl
#!/usr/bin/julia
for a in ARGS
println(a)
end
$ julia
...
julia> macro run(file, args...)
return esc(:(ARGS = $args; include($file)))
end
julia> @run "test.jl" 1 2 3 4
1
2
3
4
---------------------------------------------
Does that do what you want?
Cheers,
Daniel.
