The Beanshell documentation implies that you can run a script using this format on the command line:
java bsh.Interpreter script.bsh [args]
The only problem with this is that I cannot get it to work. I know how to call other scripts with args from a Beanshell script but I cannot get the initial script to take args. Help?
For example, a beanshell script like this one, wont parse the args:
import java.util.*;
for (int i=0; i < args.length; i++) {
System.out.println("Arg: " + args[i]);
}
Also, this doesn't work either:
import bsh.Interpreter;
for( i : bsh.args )
System.out.println( i );
The command-line arguments are available under bsh.args
, not args
. So if you change all instances of args
in your code with bsh.args
, you should be good to go. Reference: Special Variables and Values.
This worked for me:
for (arg : bsh.args)
print(arg);
Example:
$ bsh foo.bsh 1 2 3
1
2
3
Thanks to Chris Jester-Young I wrote a solution for this using Beanshell:
import java.util.*;
//debug();
argsList = new ArrayList();
optsList = new HashMap();
specialOpts = new ArrayList();
int count = 0; // count the number of program args
for (int i=0; i < bsh.args.length ; i++) {
switch (bsh.args[i].charAt(0)) {
case '-':
if (bsh.args[i].charAt(1) == '-') {
int len = 0;
String argstring = bsh.args[i].toString();
len = argstring.length();
System.out.println("Add special option " +
argstring.substring(2, len) );
specialOpts.add(argstring.substring(2, len));
} else if (bsh.args[i].charAt(1) != '-' && bsh.args[i].length() > 2 ) {
System.out.println("Found extended option: " + bsh.args[i] +
" with parameter " + bsh.args[i+1] );
optsList.put(bsh.args[i], bsh.args[i+1]);
i= i+1;
} else if (bsh.args[i].charAt(1) != '-' && bsh.args[i].length() == 2 ) {
System.out.println("Found regular option: " + bsh.args[i].charAt(1) +
" with value " + bsh.args[i+1] );
optsList.put(bsh.args[i], bsh.args[i+1]);
i= i+1;
} else if (bsh.args[i].length() <= 1) {
System.out.println("Improperly formed arg found: " + bsh.args[i] );
}
break;
default:
System.out.println("Add arg to argument list: " + bsh.args[i] );
argsList.add(bsh.args[i]);
break;
}
}
