Whats wrong with this

select
    case $cmdline[0] = 0 ; check to see if there is a parameter
        msgbox(0, "GUI Menu", "")
    Case $CmdLine[1] = "/?"
        MsgBox(0, "Switche Index","")
    Case $Cmdline[0] = 2
         $Cmdline[1] = "/Product"
         $Var = $Cmdline[2]
        MsgBox(0,"",$Var)
EndSelect
Exit

I Keep getting an error:

Line 7:

$Cmdline[1] = "/Product"

^Error

Error: Cannot assign values to constants.

You cannot assign your value to the commandline variable..

What is it you want to accomplish ?

Something like this?

; ...

Case $CmdLine[0] = 2 And $CmdLine[1] = "/Product"

; ...

well in another post I asked how to use the commandline to create a $var and I got this as a response

$Var = $CmdLine[2]

it worked for another script but I can't get it to work for this one.

Hi,

Just delete the silly line...?

select
    case $cmdline[0] = 0 ; check to see if there is a parameter
        msgbox(0, "GUI Menu", "")
    Case $CmdLine[1] = "/?"
        MsgBox(0, "Switche Index","")
    Case $Cmdline[0] = 2
         if $Cmdline[1] = "/Product" then    $Var = $Cmdline[2]
        MsgBox(0,"",$Var)
EndSelect
Exit

Problem is that you're trying to SET the value of the $CommandLine constant. That you cannot do...

ok thank you

Ok this worked perfect but now I realized I'm going to be needing it to recognize 3 switches and having the third be the variable

setup.au3 /Product Group1 $var

I've read the cmdline reference a million times but I can't get the hang of it. how do I get two command line parameters and a third being a $var like the above post.

Maybe I see your confusion. You don't use the $CmdLine array to pass parameters OUT, only for seeing them coming IN. Any old variable can be used to pass parameters out to another script (or another instance of the same script):

$var = '"My Third Parameter"'
Run("AutoIt3.exe setup.au3 /Product Group1" & $var)

Good example.
