cl$() is used to get a commandline from a string.

For example:
if you use in another program: execute file filename$, commandline$, directory$, then the cl$() will return the commandline passed with this command.

Another example would be the "open with ..." (right click on a file > open with), or dragging your file onto the exe (same effect), then the commandline will be the URL of the selected file.

To get the name without quotation marks, it is enough to use

(it could be comprimised into one line, but it would make it a bit unreadable)

So (I saw your program on the forum), if you need to add this: Start by checking wether the command line contains something or nothing(""), if it contains something, see if the file exist, and if it exist, open it.

I hope this helps.

It's the programmer's life:
Have a problem, solve the problem, and have a new problem to solve.

and for getting rid of quotation marks that are in the middle of a string:



I don't know if this is beneficial to you currently, but you may find it useful in further stages of development.
