Juvigy Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Command Line Parameters The special array $CmdLine is initialized with the command line parameters passed in to your AutoIt script. Note the scriptname is not classed as a parameter; get this information with @ScriptName instead. A parameter that contains spaces must be surrounded by "double quotes". Compiled scripts accept command line parameters in the same way. $CmdLine[0] is number of parameters $CmdLine[1] is param 1 (after the script name) $CmdLine[2] is param 2 etc ... $CmdLine[$CmdLine[0]] is one way to get the last parameter... So if your script is run like this: AutoIt3.exe myscript.au3 param1 "this is another param" $CmdLine[0] equals... 2 $CmdLine[1] equals... param1 $CmdLine[2] equals... this is another param @ScriptName equals... myscript.au3 In addition to $CmdLine there is a variable called $CmdLineRaw that contains the entire command line unsplit, so for the above example: $CmdLineRaw equals... myscript.au3 param1 "this is another param" If the script was compiled it would have been run like this: myscript.exe param1 "this is another param" $CmdLineRaw equals... param1 "this is another param" Note that $CmdLineRaw just return the parameters. Note : only 63 parameters can be return by $CmdLine[...], but $CmdLineRaw will always returns the entire command line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
