[Swift-user] passing a file as an argument

[Michael Wilde]

Jamal, for this, you pass the file name on the command line as a script argument after all the swift command arguments, and pick it up inside your swift script with the @arg() function, which is like argv in C (except indexed by name rather than position). Its described in the User Guide.
