>j.b.You haven't missed it cause it's not there...exactly. However, that said,
consider this: you can write a script in "DX" (that's what all those syntax
examples are littered through the User Reference Guide for each module).
You can also execute a .net file as a script (dx -script foo.net). So nets
are in fact scripts, but they have a hellacious amount of extra stuff only
used by the UI to paint the program on your screen when you invoke the
Visual Program Editor: scripts you write would not have nor need this junk.
Already considered... what a bloody pain. But thanks as well for your input. I think what I'll have to do is figure out some way of building an add-in to dx to parse argc/argv list, unless there's someone out there who's already doing this.Ergo, you can obviously write a plain ol' DX script then parameterize it
the same way you would any shell script (tending to pesky quotes
appropriately). If, like most of us, you prefer to develop your net using
the VPE, you could also hack on the saved net file (it's just text) with
some complicated awk/perl/sed operations that find that part of the net at
which the inputs to ForEach are set and modify them.
