Newb question: Arrays

[LagunaScripter]

Hi everyone,

I'm quite new to AutoIT and I'm struggling with how to solve the following problem:

I'm working on a script that will perform a function on all files matching wildcards submitted on the command line, for example:

"MyScript.exe *.pdf" will action on all PDF files. -So far so good. Here is what I can't get my brain wrapped around:

I want to be able to issue a command linue à là this: "MyScript.exe *.pdf *.doc *.xls *.html" and so forth, but I don't want to be limited to a pre-defined numnber of parameters.

I am pretty sure I know how to identify how many parameters have been passed on the command line, but I'm not (yet) able to DO anything with those mulitple parameters.

Thanks

LagunaScripter,

Command line parameters are put in the special array $CmdLine. The [0] element of this array tells you how many parameters there were and the [1], [2] ..... [n] elements tell you what they were.

In your case ("MyScript.exe *.pdf *.doc *.xls *.html") you would have the following array:

[0] 4

[1] .pdf

[2] .doc

[3] .xls

[4] .html

To access these parameters you use $CmdLine[?] where ? is the index of the element. Perhaps the easiest way (as you say you want to match them) is to use a loop:

For $i = 1 To $CmdLine[0] ; Runs through each parameter in turn
    ; Do what you want with the parameter
    Function($CmdLine[$i])
Next

Please ask if anything is unclear.
