Passing arguments to scripts

[Stoop]

Using one fo the examples to pass arguments to a script from the command line. So for example:

REBOL [
        Title:  "Command-Line Argument Example"
    ]

    print mold system/options/args
    print mold system/script/args

Called the file getarg.r.  However when I run it with arguments I get this:

>> do %getarg.r 54321 Launch!
Script: "Command-Line Argument Example" (none)
none
none
** Script Error: Launch! has no value
** Near: Launch!


What is the problem here?

Code:

do/args %getarg.r [54321 Launch!]

Thanks for that, that gets the argument in, but now I am having trouble doing a "find" with it.  This used to work, did arguments change in the newer versions of REBOL?

Anyway I am trying to get a name into the script and then do a find against the lines of a log file to track a user when he has problems.

So I can get the user name into the script with :

do/args %usertrk.r [John Smith]

And I assign that to a variable in my script as follows:

finduser: system/script/args


Now the line in my script that does work is if I code the name directly as follows:

if found? find line "John Smith"

I get a nice output file with all occurences of the user.

However if instead I subsitute this code:

if found? find line finduser

Then my output file is empty.

How do I need to modify the argument variable so it can be used as a string search?

If you need a  string, pass a string.

Code:

do/args %usertrk.r "John Smith"
