How to pass an argument to a compiled AutoIt script?

[stiwwy]

I am new to AutoIt so please forgive my ignorance. I have made a simple script that will locate for a control and then set a value on that control. For the sake of discussion, let's call this script as "SetControl.exe"

This script will require the following variables to be supplied by the user: $ControlName, $ControlValue.

How can I pass these variable inputs from command line? Something like "SetControl.exe Name Johnny"

What do I need to add on my setcontrol.exe script to accept "name" as the control name and "johnny" as the value to set on the "name" control.

thanks!

use $CmdLine

$ControlName = $CmdLine[1]
$ControlValue = $CmdLine[2]

;It must pass both parameters.
MessageBox(0, $ControlName, $ControlValue)

Read the help file and search for $cmdline.
