But Gri can be also invoked from the command line using optional arguments, usually filenames but not necessarily, e.g. <p> <TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> <PRE> <font color="#82140F"> $ gri somefile.gri datafile.dat datafile2.dat ... </font></PRE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <p> or <p> <TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> <PRE> <font color="#82140F"> $ gri somefile.gri *.dat </font></PRE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <p> The arguments are accessed with RPN operators `<font color="#82140F"><samp>argc</samp></font>' and `<font color="82140F"><samp>argv</samp></font>' (see <a href="UnaryOperators.html#UnaryOperators">Unary Operators</a>). <p> gri-mode provides a method to set the arguments (usually filenames) to use when `<font color="#82140F"><code>gri-run</code></font>' is called in a specific gri script. Use the gri-mode command `<font color="#82140F"><code>gri-set-command-postarguments</code></font>' to setup a string that gri-mode will use, and the gri-mode command `<font color="#82140F"><code>gri-unset-command-postarguments</code></font>' to clear it. For ease-of-use, these commands are made available from the menubar under the `<font color="#82140F"><code>Perform -> Run Settings</code></font>' entries. The specified string will be stored in the locally-defined (aka buffer-local) variable `<font color="#82140F"><code>gri-command-postarguments</code></font>' and will be written within a gri comment at the bottom of the file such that Emacs remembers it across editing sessions. <p> </table> <img src="./resources/bottom_banner.gif" usemap="#navigate_bottom" border="0"> </body> </html>
