Orangey Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I'm having trouble understanding how to pass flags like -p -q etc. to the command line with autoit. This code works for me: RunWait('"C:\Repeater\oggenc2.exe" "-q 5" "C:\Repeater\test.wav"') But, what I'd like to do is to specify the 5 in there and the path to the .wav file as variables that can be changed around. So something like this: RunWait('"C:\Repeater\oggenc2.exe" "-q " &$var1 &$var2') Do the $cmdline[] variables have something to do with this? I'd appreciate anyone's help in explaining this to me.

Developers Jos Posted December 24, 2005 Developers Share Posted December 24, 2005 this is similar to the original commandline: RunWait('"C:\Repeater\oggenc2.exe" "-q " ' & $var1 & '" "' & $var2 & '"') SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

BigDod Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Would this work ? RunWait("C:\Repeater\oggenc2.exe -q " & $var1 & " " & $var2) Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time ......T.S.

Moderators SmOke_N Posted December 24, 2005 Moderators Share Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) Does this work?This basically breaks your line down: RunWait('"C:\Repeater\oggenc2.exe"' & " " & '"-q ' & $var1 & '" ' & '"' & $var2 & '"') This is probably all you need: RunWait('"C:\Repeater\oggenc2.exe"' & ' ' & '-q ' & $var1 & ' ' & $var2) Maybe the above can explain it to you. Happy Holidays!EditDamn... Too slow!! He's much better at the command line parameters than I am, and his is a bit better at the beginning... Mine has an unnecessary & " " & RunWait('"C:\Repeater\oggenc2.exe"' & ' ' & '-q ' ... that could have just been wrapped as he showed: RunWait("C:\Repeater\oggenc2.exe -q " Edited December 24, 2005 by SmOke_N Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SmOke_N Posted December 24, 2005 Moderators Share Posted December 24, 2005 They were on his example that worked, I was merely adding them in when I was looking at his example and typing.

JerryD Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Awesome, thanks guys, happy holidays! This one worked for me: RunWait('"C:\Repeater\oggenc2.exe"' & ' ' & '-q ' & $var1 & ' ' & $var2)You should probably use this: RunWait('"C:\Repeater\oggenc2.exe"' & ' ' & '-q ' & $var1 & ' "' & $var2 & '"') If you don't and $var2 has a space in the filename, it will fail since it will try to parse the second paramater incorrectly. With the first code sample, if the $var2 is equal to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Test.wav and $var1 = 5, oggen2.exe will see C:\Documents as the second parameter. In fact, if oggen2 is an AutoIt script, in your original example, AutoIt parses out the command line RunWait('"C:\Repeater\oggenc2.exe" "-q 5" "C:\Repeater\test.wav"') Cmdline[1] = "-q 5" and Cmdline[2] = "C:\Repeater\test.wav" (note that the variables do NOT contain quotes). However, even with my suggested code, it would parse out: Cmdline[1] = "-q", Cmdline[2]=5 and Cmdline[3] = "C:\Repeater\test.wav" If you want the second parameter to be "-q 5", then you should use: RunWait('"C:\Repeater\oggenc2.exe"' & ' "' & '-q ' & $var1 & '" "' & $var2 & '"') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
