Sorry... I just don't get "Arguments"

[shankbone]

I've read over the docs - and as the title says I simply don't understand what "arguments" are, and what use cases would necessitate using them.

 

Any info would be appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Greg

What do you mean "arguments"? Like, what are you talking about? Command-line programs, Script Filter XML, Post Notification Outputs?

 

Your question can't really be answered without some context.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the quick reply!

An argument is the information typed after a keyword. For example:

 

mysuperspecialkeyword does stuff

 

Your keyword here is 'mysuperspecialkeyword'.

 

Your arguments are 'does stuff'.

 

If you create a keyword that shows weather where you live then it won't take any arguments - you type 'weather' and you're done.

 

If you create a keyword that shows weather for a given zip code, you need arguments, 'weather 11223'.
