<h1>Netscript Script Arguments<a class="headerlink" href="#netscript-script-arguments" title="Permalink to this headline">ΒΆ</a></h1>
<p>Arguments passed into a script can be accessed in Netscript using a special array called <em>args</em>. The arguments can be
accessed using a normal array using the [] operator (args[0], args[1], etc...).</p>
<p>For example, let's say we want to make a generic script 'generic-run.script' and we plan to pass two arguments into that script.
The first argument will be the name of another script, and the second argument will be a number. This generic script will run the
script specified in the first argument with the amount of threads specified in the second element. The code would look like:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">run</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">args</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">],</span> <span class="n">args</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">]);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>It is also possible to get the number of arguments that was passed into a script using:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">args</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">length</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>WARNING: Do not try to modify the args array. This will break the game. I will do my best to prevent players from doing this.</p>
