ptr

$temp = DllCall("kernel32", "ptr", "GetCommandLineA")
$temp = DllStructCreate("char[32767]", $temp[0])
Global Const $CmdLineRawRaw = DllStructGetData($temp, 1)
$temp = 0

What should the size of the struct be? Should it be the max size of the command line, or is there a way to tell what it is? Also if it is this big will it hurt anything, memory wise? I know what pointers are.. Just not that much on how to use them .

Why are you doing that to get the command line when you can use the $CmdLineRaw that is built into autoit? You can also use the array $CmdLine[] to get each parameter of the command line.

Well, it started out with me making an _error() function. The string that goes in would be either put in a message box or put into the console depending on whether or not /ErrorStdOut was there. (mostly because I got tired of typing out 'MsgBox(0, "Test", )') I didn't know that /ErrorStdOut is shown in $CmdLineRaw so I went and found this Dll function. Now I'm just worried about how to use pointers that point to strings.

Hmm.. Check this out:

... Nothing in the change log about this.

I guess I could retrieve the string in segments, until I hit a null... The website (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683156.aspx) dosn't really say how many bytes to check for.. unless 'LPTSTR' means something.

Should I stick with what the max length of the command line in CreateProcess?

Yes, you should stick with the largest amount possible. Though this sounds inefficient, it really doesn't make much of a difference.
