Like regular Ruby scripts, the command line arguments are accessed from the ARGV array. The first element of the array is always the string 'ADSK'. For the above example, the ARGV array would contain:
['ADSK', one, two]
And the first custom argument could be accessed with ARGV[1].
Note that when using Thales licensing, the first element is a string of the product code instead of 'ADSK':
['ICM', one, two]
