Thanks, I have wanted this.
1) Is this new? (how long?)
2) It's not documented (in the Wiki).

RE: Tip: How to get your pathed program name - bplus - 04-22-2022

Dang for 4 minutes now been trying to post a reply, between new OS and new forum and new browser sheesh!

Anyway new QB64 wiki for Command$ https://qb64.dijkens.com/wiki/COMMAND$.html
does not mention this nor the newer _CommandCount

The example for _CommandCount:

Code: (Select All)
limit = _COMMANDCOUNT

FOR i = 1 TO limit

    PRINT COMMAND$(i)

NEXT

Oddly skips over 0

Maybe this should be included there?

Friendly tip: https://qb64phoenix.com/qb64wiki/index.php/Main_Page -- try this for a new wiki.

The one you linked to is a read-only backup, though I hope it stays up. It's always a good idea to have something to fall back on! ?

Thank you that seems to be working without a spinner, so better, re-bookmarked that site.

@SMcNeill @bplus
1) I also had the read-only link.
2) Who do you want to have access to change the Wiki? I hit the "edit" tab and it looks like I could make changes. I would register before I did anything.
3) Is there somebody who checks changes? I would think somebody would want to check for consistency.
4) I would be willing to make changes, but I'm not prolific (like some of you).

@dcromley did you see whole board below dedicated to Wiki at this forum?
