I am writing a program file with an unspecified number of arguments and am trying to figure out how many they are. I call the file using a command such as the one below:

Code: Select all

exec "myNeatFile.prg" arg1 arg2 arg3

and myNeatFile.prg contains inter alia this snippet, which I would believe would count the arguments for me, but simply returns !i=-1:

Code: Select all

!i=0
while @neqna(%{!i},"")
  !i=!i+1
wend
!i=!i-1
@uiprompt("!i="+@str(!i))

Help would be much appreciated.

Is this feature documented? I can't find it in the 7.2 version's documentation
