Get command line parameters Utility v1.0.3.0 for retrieve Switches  of command line Tools

Update 2025/09/22

The difficulty is they don't answer the same way or not at all ! 
Script start by trying commons switches and leaves you try manually after.
Presence or absence of Import files are displayed (X86 and X64) and can affect the result...  (Thanks UEZ)
In all cases you can create a text file for save infos Usage.
A first run compiled is needed for install a contextual menu for exefile, who permit tu use it as a CLI. 
You can also use FileOpenDialog or Drag&Drop for load an exe file
See Tray menu for options and type "ESC" for quit at any time.

X64 script version only tested on Win11

 

GetCommandLineParameters v1.0.3.0.au3

change

RegWrite ( 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\Get Command Line Parameters\Command', "", "REG_SZ", '"' & @ScriptFullPath & '" "%1"' )

with

RegWrite ( 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\exefile\shell\Get Command Line Parameters\Command', "", "REG_SZ", '"' & @ScriptFullPath & '" "%1"')

This will solve any incompatibillity issues you might encounter cross OS

Wow, this is great. I especially like this Aero style.

Thanks!

Edit: Is it possible to use this style on GUIs (on XP)?

Thanks ! Posted Image

Yes it's possible on msgbox, progressbar, splash, and gui too.

see my others skins examples in my signature.

You could perhaps use SRE instead?

I made this function because it's reliable in all cases,

not like this one...

ConsoleWrite ( "result : " & _GetNameWithoutExtByFullPath ( @TempDir & '\ABBYY-Licensing-FineReader-Corporate-10.0.rollback' ) & @Crlf )

Func _GetNameWithoutExtByFullPath ( $sFile )
    Return StringRegExpReplace ( $sFile, "^.*\\|\..*$", "" )
EndFunc ;==> _GetNameWithoutExtByFullPath ( )

Well it's now 71 :D

Looks good! It will be in my tool box for future needs.

I did play with it and from what I saw it will do exactly what I want.

I'd prefer if it gave you the option of adding the explorer intergration and/or had an obvious way of removing it.

I'm thinking if I need to use it from a USB on a customers computer they will have this menu item that doesn't work.

Apart from that well done!

Thanks for your feedback ! :D

And you are right, context menu can't be removed.

It will be a new feature of the next update ! :rip:

If you have other suggestions I'm all ears ! ( i'm not sure this expression exists in english... :) )

I grabbed it today and found it a trouble to get working

after i grabbed the winapi etc i then had to compile so it took a while to get up and running.

After that i was trying it on all sorts of stuff with little or no success, i was somehow under the impression it was for any file, like a silent switch finder..

So then i realised it was just cmd files so i had to hunt for them and tried it on .cmd

Then i realised it was for exe so had to think really hard what to use then i found a robocopy which worked

Whilst it worked on the few files i had, i used to write in cmd but i wouldn't know which files to check etc, so i didnt really find it that usefull, but thats not to say others wont.

Maybe an option to stop the popup, after the first few times i was finding it a little irritating every file i opened

Maybe a little clearer in what it does cos i sure didn't get it. (could just be me being dumb though)

I know you do good work with code and im sure there was a lot went into this but just not my cup of tea.

If Ive just helped you ... miracles do happen. Chimaera

wakillon,

If you're using WinAPEx.au3 then why not use the functions from there e.g.

_WinAPI_AssocQueryString('.html', $ASSOCSTR_EXECUTABLE) ; Get default browser
Plus, I still don't understand why you have to download to the C:Windows folder still.

Updated.

Fewer MsgBox replaced by balloon tips and

As Storm suggested, i have added a uninstall menu for remove context menu ( or you can use /uninstall command line )

and corrected a little bug in the switches search.
