Options in command line

Hello people

This is one of those questions I know I am going to kick myself afterwards!

I'm calling up lisp from another one. The lisp that is called up then asks
for one choice of several options from the comand line and this is what I'm
stuck on.

For example

the lisp that is called up is called my "mylisp"
and at the command line it asks for "/option1/Option2/<option3>:"

So in the the lisp that calls up "mylisp"
I have (c:mylisp)
But how can I input one of the options eg if I want "option3"
Writing (command "option3") doesn't work.

Any ideas thanks Russ

 

HI Kiwi Russ ,

I take it you are using getkword?
You call the program that asks to choose an option....

Guess I'm not sure what you are asking exactly.

Hello,

i think the best way to do this is the following: change your lisp you want to call from (defun c:mylisp ( / ) ) to (defun mylsip (myoption / )). Later in the lisp you use instead of:
(setq option (getkword "option1/option2/option3"))
the following:
(setq option myoption)

Then you can call the program with (mylisp the_option_i_want)
