TProcess.Parameters

Command-line argumens. Supersedes CommandLine.

Declaration

Source position: process.pp line 141

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 necessery 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.
