Access to command-line arguments in Numbat

[justind000]

I think adding a way for a script to get a command-line argument would be useful.

The use-case might be something like this: a script has a function that converts x to y. You would run the script numbat script.nbt x. The script would then convert x to y.

Or allowing something like cin to take prompted input.

I agree. Basic I/O would certainly be helpful. See also #262

Is it possible to load a script from the command line and also specify something to execute? I’m thinking I would define units and functions in the script and then also specify a call to the function from the command line invocation

That is currently not possible. Please feel free to open a new ticket. This discussion is about something else.
