Calling A File When Opening Program... 1

[PaidtheUmpire]

Is there a way for Delphi to call a file while being openned?

Like this:

DelphiProg.exe DataFile.csv

Which would open the Delphi Program, while opening the second file "DataFile.csv" into a MemoBox in the Program?

Thanks for any help.

Obviously some error checking would be in order, but:

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);

begin

  if paramcount > 0 then
      memo1.Lines.LoadFromFile(paramstr(1));

end;

Should do what you need.

paramstr(0) is the name of the executable and will therefore always exist - so paramstr(1) is the first command line parameter.

Hope this helps.
