Hi davide.camerano,

Command line arguments are stored in the list named 'argv'. You can get the first argument with "lindex $argv 0" and the second argument with "lindex $argv 1".

For example, assume that hoge.tcl contains the following:

puts "1st argument is [lindex $argv 0]"

If you execute the script as "quartus_sh -t hoge.tcl xxx", you will get the following output:

1st argument is xxx

Also you can use the cmdline package to specify command line arguments like -<option> <value> . For more information on the package, please refer to the page 3-37 in the following document.
