Flags

[_TyIzaeL_]

I am working on a simple script to launch a particular program (Folding@Home) and have it run in the background. I am wondering, how do I add flags that will be sent to the program?

What do you mean by 'flags'? In AutoIT a flag determines how a function carries out it's operation.

...Might mean command line arguments; if so, look for $CmdLine in the help file

Command Line Parameters

The special array $CmdLine is initialized with the command line parameters passed in to your AutoIt script. Note the scriptname is not classed as a parameter; get this information with @ScriptName instead. A parameter that contains spaces must be surrounded by "double quotes". Compiled scripts accept command line parameters in the same way.

$CmdLine[0]is number of parameters

$CmdLine[1] is param 1 (after the script name)

$CmdLine[2] is param 2 etc

...

$CmdLine[$CmdLine[0]] is one way to get the last parameter...

So if your script is run like this:

AutoIt3.exe myscript.au3 param1 "this is another param"

$CmdLine[0] equals... 2

$CmdLine[1] equals... param1

$CmdLine[2] equals... this is another param

@ScriptName equals... myscript.au3

In addition to $CmdLine there is a variable called $CmdLineRaw that contains the entire command line unsplit, so for the above example:

$CmdLineRaw equals... myscript.au3 param1 "this is another param"

That's what the helpfile says, however, I don't understand how to use $CmdLine. Where/How do I add it to the script?
