DemonAngel Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 I would like to know if there is a way to read a command line switch in Autoit. I know that if you run a batch file with a switch (for example test.bat /s ) the /s can be used in the batch file as %1 . Is there a way that Autoit can use/read a command line switch?
GaryFrost Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 from 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" SciTE for AutoItDirections for Submitting Standard UDFs Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
