Syntax Parameters for Executable when sending email

[JohnBailey]

ok, all I need to know is the syntax for passing vars via an html link

Here's what I'm doing. Obviously this doesn't work, but should give you an idea of what I'm doing.

(the emailing works, only the parameter sending does not)

SendMailDefineVarsAndRun('myemail@mywebsite.com','Subject Line','<a href="I:\Auto-It files\Experiments\executeParameters.exe hi">send hi to executeParameters.exe</a>')

ExecuteParameters.exe source code

If $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then
    TrayTip('Testing', $CmdLine[1], 60, 1)
Else
    TrayTip('Testing', 'No parameters', 60, 1)
EndIf
Sleep(2000)

I've been told it cannot be done directly, and a suggestion was made.

You can't launch a program with parameters. However you can use a batch file.

<a href="I:\Programs\Experiments\executeParameters.bat">send hi to executeParameters.exe</a>

and executeParameters.bat would be

I:\Programs\Experiments\executeParameters.exe hi

This is good, but now I'm curious and still wondering if there is a more "dynamic" way of doing this.

So...

Does anyone know why a url link cannot send params? What is it calling in the OS environment to even pull up a file? Is it calling an API of some kind?
