$Cmdline and Select

[joos]

Seems like I am having a bad day.

This works to a point

I have a Func which is called first cmdlinecheck()

Inside the func I have

$Var = $Cmdline [1]

Select
    Case $Var = 
        MsgBox(0, "", "Just Plain - All good")
    Case $Var = "/Upgrade"
        MsgBox(0, "", "Upgrade Do the Upgrade")
    Case $Var = "/Uninstall"
        MsgBox(0, "", "Uninstall Do the Uninstall")
    Case Else
        MsgBox(0, "", "Hmm I don't this! " & "$cmdline is " & $Var )
EndSelect

This works if my command line is MyFile.exe "" or MyFile.exe "/Upgrade" Or MyFile.exe "/Uninstall" I would like it to work on the first command like this MyFile.exe if that is the command line without the "" then it should understand this. Am I asking too much ? Can't find the one for pulling my hair out.

Thanks

Hi,

Global $var
If $cmdline[0] > 0 Then $Var = $Cmdline [1]

Select
    Case $Var = ''
        MsgBox(0, "", "Just Plain - All good")
    Case $Var = "Upgrade"
        MsgBox(0, "", "Upgrade Do the Upgrade")
    Case $Var = "Uninstall"
        MsgBox(0, "", "Uninstall Do the Uninstall")
    Case Else
        MsgBox(0, "", "Hmm I don't this! " & "$cmdline is " & $Var )
EndSelect

So long,

If I'm understanding this correctly, you want to be able to catch when no command line parameters are used for another Case section. If that's the situation, I'd use a Case such as:

Select
    Case $CmdLine[0]=0
        MsgBox(0,"","No command line parameters used")
    Case $Cmdline[1]="/Upgrade"
        MsgBox(0, "Upgrade", "Do the Upgrade")
    Case $Cmdline[1]="/Uninstall"
        MsgBox(0, "Uninstall", "Do the Uninstall")
    Case Else
        MsgBox(0, "Error", $CmdLine &" is an invalid parameter.")
EndSelect
