Adding Command Line Parameter To Au3 Files...

[ezzetabi]

Often I need starting program with unusual command line parameter, so I love the small tweak Execparm, that you can download here:

Freeware, of course.

Unluckly it do not let you add parameter to au3 files if you do not fix the registry.

So if you want (and you should) have a right click option like Execute with parameters you have to install Execparm and import this .reg

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoIt3Script\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\ExecContextMenu]
@="{B005017D-B7DD-11CF-BB51-0000B465A4FF}"

i suppose that can easily be done through a script.

[ezzetabi]

A scrip that install ExecParm and set it to work also in Autoit? Seems a good idea.

[Guest rathore]

u can do it all without execparm by just using autoit! what does it take? just use inputbox and ask params and then launch the target by parsing the params!

(i've not used execparm but if this is all it does then its not needed)

ohohoh... yes. you are right! I dislike the {F2} read control text approch but still it is easy to do... I started using execparm so long ago that I am so tied to it that I forgot that you can actually make without it... Oh well..ò

[Guest rathore]

u don't need F2!! u can get file path in the first cmd line param. (while running with context menu)

[ezzetabi]

Really?!? Do you mean that if I start a script from the context menu CmdLine[1] will be the full path?

Thats a great news! It opens new worlds! Thanks, Thanks!

[Valik]

Are you talking about the path to the script? @ScriptDir already provides that information...

[ezzetabi]

We are speaking of a totally different thing, I am sorry.

[Guest rathore]

it works!...right?

[ezzetabi]

It does...

In command key you have to set autoit.exe script.au3 "%1"

and it works

with this is a joke make a script to avoid the use of Execparm

[Guest rathore]

compile the script for even easier usage.
