Switches

[ca143508]

Hey Guys,

I have a script with different functions in it. What I would like to do is have a switch in it so that I can run my script from a specific function. At the moment when I run the exe version it goes in a loop until a certain system time is matched and then works it's way through the functions until the end of the script. However if I ran C:\myprog.exe /m (for example) it would skip the time check and run the rest of the functions. Is there such a way that autoit can do this?

Thanks heaps

Mike.

Look at the help file under "command line parameters"

excerpt:

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

Check out Command Line Parameters in the help file. If you script is compiled and run as: C:\myprog.exe /m, then $CmdLine[0] = 1 (count of parameters), and $CmdLine[1] = "/m". So you get:

If $CmdLine[0] = 0
     ; No command line parameters
     MsgBox(64, "MyProg", "No commandline parameters used.")
ElseIf $CmdLine[1] = "/m" Then
     ; /m parameter was used
     MsgBox(64, "MyProg", "Switch 'm' was used.")
Else
     MsgBox(16, "Error!", "Invalid commandline argument, not '/m'.")
EndIf
