Help Correcting Script

[AutoitNew94]

I need some help cleaning up and correcting this.

$var = 0
If $Cmdline[0] > 0 Then
    For $i = 1 To $Cmdline[0]
        If $i = 1 Then $var = 1
    Next
Endif

If $Cmdline[$var] = ".." Then
    For $i = 2 To $Cmdline[0]
        ConsoleWrite($Cmdline[$i] & @LF)
    Next
EndIf

If $var = 1 Then
    For $i = 1 To $Cmdline[0]
        ConsoleWrite($Cmdline[$i] & " ")
    Next
EndIf

When args passed from the command line.

I want

SCRIPT.EXE Hello World ..

to result in

Hello World ..

and

SCRIPT.EXE .. Hello World

to result in

Hello

World

Thank You in advance.

This doesn't resemble your code at the top but it does give the result you asked for.

If $CMDLINE[0] > 0 then

    If $CMDLINE[1] = ".." then
        For $i = 2 to $CMDLINE[0]
            ConsoleWrite($CMDLINE[$i] & @crlf)
        Next
    ElseIf $CMDLINE[$CMDLINE[0]] = ".." then
        ConsoleWrite($CMDLINERAW & @crlf)
    EndIf

EndIf

In favor of a syntax like:

SCRIPT.EXE Hello World ..
SCRIPT.EXE .. Hello World

You would do well to standardize this to:

SCRIPT.EXE Hello World
SCRIPT.EXE "Hello World"

The example below will automatically maintain "Hello World" as a single string, and split Hello World without quotes into two strings.

SCRIPT.EXE Hello World
SCRIPT.EXE "Hello World"

Thank you Manadar you are absolutely correct.

It is much easier just to use quoted and unquoted strings.

If $Cmdline[0] > 0 Then
    For $i = 1 To $CmdLine[0]
        ConsoleWrite($CmdLine[$i] & @LF)
    Next
EndIf

My next question is could you or someone else point me in the direction of processing

chars, so when reading through a string like...

"Hello %World%"

...the script knows that %World% is a variable and to change that as needed.

More preferably the syntax would resemble $World instead of %World.%

Thank you again.

There may be a better way but this seems to work

#include <array.au3>
If $CMDLINE[0] > 0 then
    Local $aCMDLine[$CMDLINE[0] +1]
    For $i = 1 to $CMDLINE[0]
        Switch 1
            Case StringinStr($CMDLINE[$i],"%World%"), StringinStr($CMDLINE[$i],"%Hello%")
                $aCMDLine[$i] = $CMDLINE[$i]
                $aCMDLINE[$i] = StringReplace($aCMDLINE[$i],"%World%","Earth")
                $aCMDLINE[$i] = StringReplace($aCMDLINE[$i],"%Hello%","Evening")
            Case Else
                $aCMDLine[$i] = $CMDLINE[$i]
        EndSwitch

    Next

    _ArrayDisplay($aCMDLine,"Modified Commandlines")
EndIf
