Working with command line arguments in V1:

V1 has a global Array 'argv' which contain the arguments.

<?v1 
print (count (argv).' arguments available');
arg1 = argv[0]; // Always the executable of V1 e.g. c:\projects\v1\v1.exe
arg2 = argv[1]; // Filename of the V1 script e.g. filename.v1
arg3 = argv[2]; // First user defined argument
?>

Rund code on command line with -r option:

v1 -r "print('Its now '.date('%D %j %F %Y %H:%i:%s'));"
Its now Wed 2 May 2018 11:13:54

The Web mode -w option:

Use -w option to start V1 as CGI interpreter on a Webserver. Therefore you have to configurate your Webserver to call v1 -w for every file which should be interpretated with V1. See also chapter Web mode.
