Hi, jackraymund. The answer is yes, you can run programs with switches. Check out Run or ShellExecute in the help file:

Run:

Run("asdf.exe -t -x 123")

ShellExecute:

ShellExecute("asdf.exe", "-t -x 123")

Look at the help file under "Using AutoIt" and look at the Command Line Parameters section. Also, do a search for $cmdline on the forum, it will probably link to a few scripts using command line parameters as input to the script.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

Ah, you are correct jackraymund, I misunderstood from the limited info in your initial post. As BrewManNH suggests above, you can use the Command Line Parameters to add functionality to your compiled script. As an example, I use the snippet below to allow me to decompile my compiled executable if I need to recover my original script:

If StringInStr($cmdlineRaw, "/Extract") Then
    FileInstall("C:MyScript.au3", @TempDir & "Source.au3", 1)
EndIf
