TSE: Example of the use case for MacroCmdLine parameters via "-e"

Hello,

1. If you run this it will run a TSE executable on my remote server:

http://108.181.171.157/ddd.php?tseMacroS=c:/bbc/taal/getstrfu.mac

2. If you click on this URL it will show the calculated roots for an example of that equation.

Array ( [0] => 1, 0.500000000000001 + 0.866025403784438 * i, 0.499999999999999 - 0.866025403784441 * i, -0.381966011250106, -2.6180339887499 )

3. So it will run and find the roots of the 5th degree quintic polynomial with some currently fixed, unchangeable parameters.

4. Of course you want to pass the 6 coefficients as variable parameters.

E.g. something like (so you pass it via the URL)

http://108.181.171.157/ddd.php?tseMacroS=c:/bbc/taal/getstrfu.mac 1 2 3 4 5 6

where the last entries are the parameters.

5. At the remote server TSE g32.exe runs it by invoking the '-e' command line parameter (in PHP)

exec( "g32.exe -e" . $tseMacroS, $output);

6. But TSE does thus only grab the macroname 'getstrfu.mac' when using '-e' and will ignore 

what comes after it (thus these space separated parameters 1 2 3 4 5 6). 

So you can thus not pass variable parameters via the MacroCmdLine.

with friendly greetings
