command line arguments

[flaxcrack]

i think you mean this or i don't understand you

If $CMDLine[0] > 0 Then

If $cmdline[1] = "/msg1" then ;Notice you are not putting a space between /msg and 1

MsgBox(0, "Test", "test1")

ElseIf $cmdline[1] = "/msg2" then ;Notice you are not putting a space between /msg and 2

MsgBox(0, "Test", "test2")

EndIf

EndIf

What I'm trying to do is pull the marked value of that is asigned to /msg via the user from the command line. Meaning that value for /msg argument could be 1000 not just 1 or 2. Think of it as the count size of the ping command. This would be your syntax: ping google.com -n 888. Now the user could make -n 1 if they wanted. Where I am lost is how to retrieve that value.

i have never done this ... but wouldn't it make sense to say

ElseIf $cmdline[1] = "/msg2" then

$Value = StringTrimLeft( $cmdline[1], 4)

thus

$value = 2

no?????

DING DING DING! Not how I will format it but that is the concept. My problem was I couldn't get past the idea of the input comming from the command line by some other variable method when it was already there. Thanks for the help.

Hi, if you only want do get the value you can use it like this

cmda /msg5600 will display 5600

If $CMDLine[0] > 0 Then

if StringInStr($cmdline[1],"/msg") Then

$len=stringLen($cmdline[1])

$value=StringRight($cmdline[1],$Len-4)

MsgBox(0,"",$value)

EndIf

EndIf

One thing I noticed about command line arguments. I am doing some simple monitoring, which will involve pinging a series of IP addresses. I can specify these on the command line.

However, to loop through all the command line arguments, you have to skip the initial element, a[0], which is actually the size of the array.

Interesting.

Interesting you find this interesting and decided to resurrect an 4 years old thread to share that thought with us.

What's really interesting is that this is described in the Helpfile.
