Title: Start and pass arguments to another program
Post by: Egil on October 09, 2023, 03:44:04 PM
Greetings!

I'm in the making of a very simple log program and need to identify radiostations transmitting on a specified frequency.
Years ago I made a small program for viewing the EIBI database was made, and when I return home I'll modify it slightly to accept command line arguments.

Had forgotten almost everything about this way of programming, but a search on the forum came up with this:

Maybe other would like to experiment with it.
The zip-file contains simple code both for the sending and receiving programs, and there is also included an exe file for the receiver program. for testing.

This is a technique I haven't used since the 1960s.



Have fun!

PS
This is written in CB since that is the only code tool I am able to use at the moment, but it should work by copying the code into the IWB editor and compile.
