Custom Command Line Switches?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is possible, I did some searching around and found $CmdLine[], but I'm not sure if this is what I'm looking for or not.

But I'm trying to pass a bunch of command line switches into one of my AutoIt scripts.

I basically have a basic few lines of code along with a couple of functions, and I'd like my script to only execute the code within these functions if that specific command line parameter is passed.

So if I have The following as my code

InetGet("www.bla.com/test.exe")
If $foo = 1 Then
FileRemove("C:\test.exe")
EndIf

Func $receive()
.
.
.
EndFunc

Func $download()
.
.
.
EndFunc

Func $test()
.
.
.
EndFunc

and I execute my script as follows: myscript.exe /download /test

I only want the code before my functions to be executed as well as the code within the $download() and $test() functions leaving the code within the $receive() function omitted.

I hope this makes sense, I'm working on little sleep :whistle:

Thanks in advanced.

Put the following in a script and compile it:

If $cmdline[0] Then
    For $iCC = 1 To $cmdline[0]
        MsgBox(64, '$cmdline[' & $iCC & ']', $cmdline[$iCC])
    Next
Else
    MsgBox(16, 'Error', 'No command line was passed.')
EndIf

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Try this as a demo:

If $CmdLine[0] Then
    For $n = 1 To $CmdLine[0]
        Switch $CmdLine[$n]
            Case "/receive"
                _Receive()
                
            Case "/download"
                _Download()
                
            Case "/test"
                _Test()
        EndSwitch
    Next
EndIf

Func _Receive()
    MsgBox(64, "Receive", "Receive function called...")
EndFunc   ;==>_Receive

Func _Download()
    MsgBox(64, "Download", "Download function called...")
EndFunc   ;==>_Download

Func _Test()
    MsgBox(64, "Test", "Test function called...")
EndFunc   ;==>_Test

Notice that functions are not variables and do not start with '$'. The underscore in the function names is just a common convention to indicate a user defined (vice built-in) function and is not required.

:whistle:
