How to Retrieve AutoIT Executable Filename?

[chipmonger]

Need to retrieve the name of a compiled AutoIT script when it's running (I'm using the same code snippet in multiple programs and don't want to have to edit the snippet each time when pasting it into another script). I've tried to look around, but haven't been successful (probably using the wrong search terms). Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chip

Did you check the Helpfile?

@ScriptName maybe?

Thank you. That seems to work fine, except in cases where the file name has a space in it. I can work around that replacing spaces with underscores.

what is the issue when the name contains spaces?

I figured it out. I'm passing the program name to a second program to update a file. Since the program name had a space when it was passed, the called program treated it as a second command line parameter. I've modified the called program to check for the second command line parameter, and if found, handle it properly.

Thanks again,

What about when you put your filename in double quotes on the commandline? Edited February 12, 2010 by Jos

Haven't tried that. I'm just using 'Run("C:\LogFile.exe " & @scriptname)', knowing that the filename is at most two words.

It's fine when it works but if you ever need it my guess would be that this should work too:

Run('C:\LogFile.exe "' & @ScriptName & '"')

Will keep that in mind. Thanks again for your help with this newbie.
