Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin):7.5
Operating System:win xp sp2
I want to re-use some labtalk scripts. To do this I need to pass arguments to my functions. For example, suppose I have a labtalk script that copies file a to file b (where a and b are int variables), I can give a and b the values and then run the script like this
a=2
b=3
run.section(copy)
Is there any way of doing this in a direct form, like the way you do in C?
how do I pass arguments to a labtalk script(function)?

Hi Flavs,
You can use upto 5 arguments in the "run.section" object method. See the Programming help. The syntax is:
run.section(fileName,sectionName[,arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4 arg5])
Note that there are no commas between arguments. When arguments are passed to a section in the script, they are refered as %1, %2, etc. They are text variables. For example, if you create a script file D:\temp\AAA.ogs that has lines:
[mysect1]
type -a >> %1 plus %2 is $(%1+%2);
and you enter the following in the Script window:
run.section(D:\temp\AAA.ogs,mysect1,2 3)<ENTER>
you get:
>> 2 plus 3 is 5
