autoit: protocol (for URL)

[Michel Claveau]

Hi!

A URL-protocol (like mailto: callto: ftp: http: ), but who launch a command-line.

1): compile this script, like argraw.exe ; then copy it in C:\

#NoTrayIcon
$arg=$CmdLineRaw
msgbox(0,"$CmdLineRaw",$arg, 20)
Exit

2): launch this script (installation-script):

$name="autoit"
$command="C:\argraw.exe"

$tkey="HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\"&$name
RegWrite($tkey)
sleep(10)
RegWrite($tkey,"","REG_SZ","URL: "&$name&" protocol")
sleep(10)
RegWrite($tkey,"URL Protocol","REG_SZ","")
sleep(10)

RegWrite($tkey&"\shell")
sleep(10)
RegWrite($tkey&"\shell\open")
sleep(10)
RegWrite($tkey&"\shell\open\command")
sleep(10)
RegWrite($tkey&"\shell\open\command","","REG_SZ",'"'&$command&'" %1')
sleep(10)

MsgBox(0,"Terminé","AutoIt protocol ready.",2)
Exit

3): Define a HTML page, which contain this line:

<a href='autoit: AAA bbb "CCC ddd eee" fff'>AutoIt_Protocol_Link</a>

4): Launch this HTML page (file) into Internet-Explorer ; then click on the link.

Conclusion: you can, now, launch command-line (AutoIt or other) from HTML page (local or on-line). It is only necessary to launch once the script of (for?) installation.

This would be pretty useful in theguy0000 web autoit

[Michel Claveau]

Hi, JamesB!

You are, perhaps, right.

But, I did not read wire on Web-autoit...

[NELyon]

It's been done before (Specifically by CyberZeroCool), but it's still fun to mess with

[emoyasha]

#NoTrayIcon
$arg=$CmdLineRaw
$arg = StringRegExpReplace($arg, "autoit:", " ")
Execute($arg)

[emoyasha]

ok i try the following code, and it says it can not find the file specified, in an aerror and gives me weird unicode text.

#NoTrayIcon
FileDelete(@tempdir&"1.au3")
$arg=$CmdLineRaw
$arg = StringRegExpReplace($arg, "autoit:", " ")
FileWrite(@tempdir&"1.au3", $arg)
run(@tempdir&"1.au3")

run(@tempdir&"1.au3")

run(@tempdir&"1.au3") <<< is missing a backslash...

[emoyasha]

i add the backslash and still says it can execute the external program

[emoyasha]

ok here is the handler code :

CODE removed for security reason, please contact me with request for fully functional url coding code.

NOTE:

if your user uses firefox it will auto place %20 where ever there are spaces in your autoit code so you would have to add this lien for firefox compatability

Hi!

Thank you for use this trick.

It's useful for Intranet, or automatic-web-assist.

You can also it for connect HTA's scripts on Autoit (externals) scripts.

also so you all know, you can copy the autoit executable + includes folder into the same directory where this is compiled, and rename the auoit executable to "launcher" and distribute, so users dont have to install autoit.

make:

run("C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe"& " "&@tempdir&"\1.au3")oÝ÷ ÚÚy«­¢+ÙÉÕ¸ ÅÕ½Ðí±Õ¹¡È¹áÅÕ½ÐìµÀìÅÕ½ÐìÅÕ½ÐìµÀíѵÁ¥ÈµÀìÅÕ½ÐìÀäÈìĹÔÌÅÕ½Ðì¤

[sorry about double posting, other post would have messed up autoit code in it if i had edited]

however i have updated the above code i posted to make this compatible with firefox

also on the other hand, it gives me about 22 arrays for 4 lines of code, most of them are blank, they dont seem to affect the code, but i just thought i would inform you all.

You may know that every compiled autoit executable has the full autoit.exe included? so just use @scriptfulldir to run your code :-)

[emoyasha]

no you dnt get it, it has to be passed as a paramter by the autoit executable in order for a script to be ran on a computer withotu autoit installed. because ou cant run autoit code inside of an already written code, all you can do is execute code, that stop the use of varibles and makes code functionality very.... small.
