Command Line Params

[RedneckTech]

Ive been trying this and the only sensible way i can come up with is as follows

$CmdLine[0] = 1
If $CmdLine[1] = "/F" Then
   MsgBox (0, "", "The Command has been forced")
ElseIf $CmdLine[1] = "/L" Then
   MsgBox (0, "", "The Log has been activated")
Else
   MsgBox (0, "", "No lines Detected, Try again dude!")
EndIf

Have Also Tried this:

$CmdLine[0] = 2
$CmdLine[1] = "/F"
$CmdLine[2] = "/L"
If $CmdLine[1] = "/F" Then
   MsgBox (0, "", "The Command has been forced")
ElseIf $CmdLine[1] = "/L" Then
   MsgBox (0, "", "The Log has been activated")
Else
   MsgBox (0, "", "No lines Detected, Try again dude!")
EndIf

Unfortunately, when I "Run" myscript.exe /F or myscript.exe /L I get "Error: Cannot assign values to constants."

Any advice?

And i came up with this after reading the help file, and searching the forums, so please dont just send me back to that help file page

Thanks in advance!

That's not how you pass the command line params, $CmdLine is a predefined constant, you can't assign a value to it in the way shown in those scripts, you pass them by running the compiled version of your script something like Run(@ScriptDir & "program.exe /f").

If $CmdLine[0] > 0 then MsgBox(0,'',$CmdLine[1])

To test you can set the parameters in SciTE (Shift+F8) and then run the script using F5.

Ok, Im really lost now...

my problem is that i was telling $cmdline[0] how many params it was allowed to be?

so if i send 14 different params to the exe $cmdline[0] is automatically set to 14? and $cmdline[x>0] goes to whatever param i put in at that position?

Correct, correct.

But make sure that x is <= $cmdline[0] when checking the parameters.

thanks guys. again, I have made things WAYYYY harder than they need to be.... why do i always do this to myself? see my earlier pose about InputBox()...

As I'm sure you wont't make a "mistake" twice your coding improves over time (that happend to most of us here)
