Without the change to jqt.cmd (adding %*) jqt doesn't see any ARGV. I notice that you cannot launch jqt.exe directly (needs to set path to QT), but you can call jqt from Jqt
fork_jtask_ jpath '~bin/jqt.exe filename2load' and this also works: fork_jtask_ jpath '~bin/jqt.exe -js a=:2+2' NB. no spaces inside expressions. My question though, could the official distribution ship with a version of the .cmd file that does allow arguments to be passed? ----- Original Message ----- From: bill lam <bbill....@gmail.com> To: "programm...@jsoftware.com" <programm...@jsoftware.com> Cc: Sent: Saturday, April 5, 2014 7:30:23 PM Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] jqt command line It is the responsibility of your script file to handle arguments in ARGV.
