Getting Parameters from the Commandline

[MentalPower]

My question is rather simple. Say I call my compiled script like "C:\MyScript.exe param1 param2 param3", how do I get the "param1 param2 param3" part from within my script. Basically I want my script to restart a program when called without params, but to only close it when called with some parameter.

Thanks

From the $CmdLine array -- per the help file under... wait for it... "Command Line Parameters"

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...

So if your script is run like this:

AutoIt3.exe myscript.au3 param1 "this is another param"

$CmdLine[0] equals... 2

$CmdLine[1] equals... param1

$CmdLine[2] equals... this is another param

@ScriptName equals... myscript.au3

Thanks, I just spent 2hrs looking for "passing parameters", "parameters", "reading parameters" and the like. KISS FTW. Thanks again.
