TProcess.Parameters property
Command-line arguments. Supersedes
CommandLine.
Declaration
property Parameters: TProcessStrings read FParameters write SetParameters;Description
Parameters contains the command-line arguments that should be passed
to the program specified in
Executable.
Commandline arguments should be specified one per item in
Parameters: each item in Parameters will be passed as
a separate command-line item. It is therefor not necessary to quote whitespace
in the items. As a consequence, it is not allowed to specify multiple
command-line parameters in 1 item in the stringlist. If a command needs 2
options -t and -s, the following is not correct:
With Parameters do
begin
add('-t -s');
end;
Instead, the code should read:
With Parameters do
begin
add('-t');
Add('-s');
end;
Note that
Parameters is ignored if either of
CommandLine or ApplicationName is specified. It
can only be used with Executable.
The idea of using
Parameters is that they are passed unmodified to
the operating system. On Windows, a single command-line string must be
constructed, and each parameter is surrounded by double quote characters if
it contains a space. The programmer must not quote parameters with spaces.
