and i call it with "autoit.exe /s:abc" from the command prompt ..

If you want to specify commandline parameters and work with them inside an autoit script then look for $CMDLINE in the helpfile

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...

Take a look at $CmdLine array in Online documentation

also good idea to name it to a different file names, to call autoit.exe with autoit.exe can cause some bad mojo.
