How to get the path of a file dropped on a autoit compoiled exe?

[loin2kolpotoru]

I have compiled a Test.exe running which it open the fileopendialog and asks to select a executable and then passes its path to another commandline program, now i want when i drop a exe on to the Test.exe it should accept the path of that exe directly how can i do it?

here is the code -

Local $name, $message

$message = "Chose a Executable File which you want to Test"
$name = FileOpenDialog($message, @DesktopDir & "", "Executable (*.exe)")
$dosname = FileGetShortName ($name ,1)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(48,"No File Chosen!","Process Canceled because No Executable File Chosen.")
Else
    Run(@ScriptDir & 'Cmdline.exe -l -f -r ' & $dosname & '')
EndIf

You can see the files just like a command-line parameter.  If you compile this and drop a file, or multiple files on the executable, you will see how they are stored in $CmdLine array.

#include <Array.au3>
If $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then
    _ArrayDisplay($CmdLine)
EndIf

Thank you for answering, but please help me in completing the script. What i am trying to do is when i drop a executable in autoit compiled Test.exe it should pass the parameters and executables path to the Cmdline.exe program and exit and when the autoit compiled Test.exe is dubble clicked then it will ask to select a executable and then it should pass the parameters and executables path to the Cmdline.exe program and exit

I have already written the basic script as i have posted above, running which it asks to select a executable and then it passes the parameters and executables path to the Cmdline.exe program and exits. i am just unable to do it from drag & drop.

I know, but did you compile danwilli's script and drop a file on the exe?

[loin2kolpotoru]

yes and it give two line of output, first line ulsless 2nd line the path of the executable. then i tried to implement on my script but failed.

#include

$dosname = FileGetShortName ($CmdLine ,1)

Run('Cmdline.exe -l -f -r %1' & $dosname & '')

Local $name, $message

$message = "Chose a Executable File which you want to Test"

$name = FileOpenDialog($message, @DesktopDir & "", "Executable (*.exe)")

$dosname = FileGetShortName ($name ,1)

If @error Then

MsgBox(48,"No File Chosen!","Process Canceled because No Executable File Chosen.")

Else

Run(@ScriptDir & 'Cmdline.exe -l -f -r ' & $dosname & '')

EndIf

loin2kolpotoru,

When you post code please use Code tags - see here how to do it.

$CmdLine is an array, use the array syntax: $CmdLine[1] instead of $CmdLine

You might also want to look in the help file under commandline parameters.
