I think you've all misunderstand me (maybe my own fault)

What I want is the following:

for an example. you can run the command copy with some parameters like copy /y etc

i want to code something in my autoit script so i can run my compiled script also with some parameters (defined by me)

I know I have seen that piece of code somewhere, but I can't find it anymore

Check out command line parameters in the helpfile.

Thx to you all.

I've found the sollution.

It was indeed with the command line parameter. But the first thing I felt when reading the help file was... WTF I don't get it.

But I found a way to get it.

The code I wrote

if $CmdLine[0]<1 Then
        MsgBox(0,"Parameters", "/to and /from")
    Exit
    Else


If $CmdLine[1] = "to" Then
    
    Run("d:\fujitron\brestos4_BO\Brestos4_BO.exe /AB_TOKASSA_COM", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
    
    
    MsgBox(0,"","File saved to kassa",2)
    
Else
    
If $CmdLine[1] = "from" Then    
    Run("d:\fujitron\Brestos4_BO\brestos4_BO.exe /AB_FROMKASSA_COM", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
    
    MsgBox(0,"", "File saved from kassa",2)
    


    
Else

    Exit

    

EndIf
EndIf
EndIf

It works, but if anybody can write it in another way, please tell me ( I still want to learn)

If statements certainly work, but if you have a lot of switches, Select...Case will probably look better.

If you have SciTe (and why wouldn't you? ;) ) you can enter Ctrl-Shift-R, enter or select "cmdlineselect" and get this structure inserted into your script:

If $Cmdline[0] Then
    For $i = 1 To $Cmdline[0]
        Select
            Case $Cmdline[$i] = '/?'
                MsgBox(0x40000, StringTrimRight(@ScriptName, 4) & ' Help', _
                        'Switches are:' & @LF _
                         & @LF & '/extract' _
                         & @LF & @TAB & 'Extract files to current directory' _
                         & @LF & '/x' _
                         & @LF & @TAB & '' _
                         & @LF & '/x' _
                         & @LF & @TAB & '' _
                         & @LF & '/x' _
                         & @LF & @TAB & '' _
                         & @LF & '/x' _
                         & @LF & @TAB & '' _
                         & @LF & '/x' _
                         & @LF & @TAB & '')
                Exit
            Case $Cmdline[$i] = '/extract'
                FileInstall('?', @ScriptDir & '')
                Exit
            Case $Cmdline[$i] = '/x'
            Case $Cmdline[$i] = '/x'
            Case $Cmdline[$i] = '/x'
            Case $Cmdline[$i] = '/x'
            Case $Cmdline[$i] = '/x'
            Case Else
                MsgBox(0x40000, 'Incorrect switch used', 'Command used:' & @LF & $CmdlineRaw _
                         & @LF & @LF & 'Use /? for the switches available.')
                Exit
        EndSelect
    Next

Thx Bluebearr

this is helping.

First I want to thank you for giving me the tip to use ctrl-shift-R.

I didn't know that excist.

Now I can modifie everything.

Thank you

If you're going to do it with $CmndLine (as shown in help) or even from the run dialog I strongly recommend that you NOT use '/' as the separator for Commandline parameters. Microsoft is very soon ( I think in Vista) dropping that as a separator in favor of '-' which already works in most cases.

well, that is strange

in my example, I didn't hardcoded something like /? but only the ? and it works

In the other examples given by other users the /? is fully hardcoded.

What is the best thing? Do I need to leave the / or not?

Sometimes Yes, sometimes No. In your case No because if you run a command (don't confuse with file) and you have an invalid switch then it will usually default to "/?"

To follow your example it would actually be

RunWait(@Comspec & " copy /?)

Read about @Comspec in the help file under "Run"
