Pass multiple command parameters

[legend 16]

If $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then
    Switch $CmdLine[1]

        Case "-s"
            start()

        case "-sh"
            starth()

        Case Else
            MsgBox(16,"Error",$CmdLine[1])
    EndSwitch
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Info", "No parameter --> exit", 1)
    Exit (0)
EndIf

The problem is, I want to be able to pass multiple parameters, so if i compile the script, and drop it into cmd, and write: c:\myfile.exe -s -sh

I want it to run both functions (start and starth). But now it's only calling one of them, and ignoring the other one.

I also need a way to get the path to a file, let's say we call it like this: c:\myfile.exe -sh -f "c:\windows\notepad.exe"

How can I get "c:\windows\notepad.exe" witch is a file we dropped into cmd, -f just means we wanna insert a file

Here's one way to do it.

Global $s = False, $sh = False, $f = False, $FileName = ""
If $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then
    For $I = 1 To $CmdLine[0]
        If $CmdLine[$I] = "-s" Then $s = True
        If $CmdLine[$I] = "-sh" Then $sh = True
        If $CmdLine[$I] = "-f" Then
            $f = True
            $FileName = $CmdLine[$I + 1]
        EndIf
    Next
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Info", "No parameter --> exit", 1)
    Exit (0)
EndIf
If $s Then start()
If $sh Then starth()
If $f Then DoSomethingElse()

    Exit (0)
EndIf
If $s Then start()
If $sh Then starth()
If $f Then DoSomethingElse()

 

thank's a lot, that helped me a lot

What would be the best way to show a list in the cmd windows of available commands : /? 

I could when "/?" is called, use send, to send the information to the cmd windows, but there might be better ways I can imagine?

[careca 277]

I did a tool that goes along with a registry modification, to right click an exe, and show its parameters, if any.

Basically it sends /? as you said, and shows you the result in a gui.

Then it allows you to write the parameters you want, and will send it to the application.

Called it ParameterTool - Check screenshot.

how could i check if the user enters a path after the parameter -f ? 

because if you just enter: c:\commandtool.exe -f and press enter, you will get an error:

Check the Ubound to make sure it's 1 greater than the value of $i at the time you're checking for the -f parameter. If $i and Ubound are the same, there's no file name following it. It would be much more difficult to check to see if they included -f with no file name, and then used one of the other command line parameters.

blob.exe -f -sh -s

thank's

If $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then
    For $I = 1 To $CmdLine[0]
        If $CmdLine[$I] = "-s" Then $s = True
        If $CmdLine[$I] = "-f" Then

            $test = UBound($CmdLine)

            if $test > 2 Then
                $f = True
                $FileName = $CmdLine[$I + 1]
            Else
                MsgBox("","","")
            Exit
            EndIf



            EndIf
    Next
Else
Exit (0)
EndIf

this way might be more correct? 

If Mod($CmdLine[0], 2) <> 0 Then Exit MsgBox(16, $sTitle, "Invalid number of parameters! has to be a multiple of 2!")
