autoit command recognition help

[marselo]

iam making a program to send commands to the pc through Messenger.

but i need help to get the commands recognized for example i want to send mousemove(480,431) so how will the computer recognize the command as mousemove(x,y) as x=480 , y=431 ?

Easiest way is to read the line into a variable, say $nextline then

Execute($nextline)

nice,this will work.

but how can i do the same but with changing the command name??

for example:

mouseto,[x],[y]

mousemove([x],[y]) ???

First of all, executing user input is very, very unsecure. Even though in this case it might be okay, make it a rule to never do it! Lets for example play with the thought I figure out how to send these commands to you over messenger, I would have complete control over your computer.

Instead, why not build a simple parser? Much, much more secure. Here's a simple example:

#include <array.au3>


$Input="mouseto,10,10"

$Params=StringSplit($Input,",",2)

$Function=$Params[0]
_ArrayDelete($Params,0)

Switch $Function
    Case "mouseto"
        MouseMove($Params[0],$Params[1])
        
EndSwitch
