Call script with arguments?

[telmob]

Hello again...

My script has a windows context menu. When i right-click over a exe file (for example) i have the option to execute my script with pre-defined parameters.

For example. I right click the exe file and select 'Open and share'. This would open my script and email it or whatever.

So... the context menu would call the compiled script with 'compiled.exe %1' or %2 if i need another option.

How can i do this? Is this possible?

Search $CmdLine in help file, or look at running scripts under the it's content tab.

And $CmdLineRaw too.

Thanks guys! That's exactly what i was looking for

Well... after some serious search, i got a bit confused. The Help file doesn't provide (apparentely) an example.

For example... my windows right-click context menu calls for:

myapp.exe /allow

or

myapp.exe /block

when i click files or folders

Should i do:

If $CmdLine[1] Then
RunCommandAllow()

or something like:

If $CmdLine[1]=/allow Then
RunCommandAllow()

?

This is confusing to me.

Can i get to run the command to all the selected files/folders?

Also, can i use $CmdLine if my app is already running?

Hi, telmob, have you tried it? You'll often find that you can try something this basic and answer it for yourself in less time than it takes you to post

For example, try this:

If $CmdLine[1] Then
   Msgbox(0, "", "You called the command line correctly")
   Exit
EndIf

Then, try this:

If $CmdLine[1] = "/allow" Then
 MsgBox(0, "", "You called the command line correctly)
 Exit
EndIf

Which one works for you?

The help file is your friend too. Check this.

You are absolutely right. Its just i've spent all days experimenting... i have to apologize.

I get this error though:

(238) : ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:
If $CmdLine[1] = "/allow" Then
If ^ ERROR

The help file is your friend too. Check this.

Thank you, i have seen it and that's how i got confused in the first place. English is not my mother language, maybe thats why. Edited December 27, 2012 by telmob

You first have to check the number of passed parameters before you try to access the parameter. So your code should look like:

If $CmdLine[0] >= 1 Then
    If $CmdLine[1] = "/allow" Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "You called the command line correctly")
        Exit
    EndIf
EndIf

lol! Amateur error.

Thank you. I have a few questions of this problem of mine but they better interact with another post, so i'll see if i can get help in my other post.

Thank you again, you really helped me.

Glad to be of service
