Cannot assign values to constants.

[phew]

I received the error:

$cmdline = StringRegExp($cmdstring, '(.*?) (.*)', 1)
^ERROR
Error: Cannot assign values to constants.

in my script

If ($foundhost = $hostmatch) Then
                    MsgBox(0, "", $cmdstring)
                    $cmdline = StringRegExp($cmdstring, '(.*?) (.*)', 1)
                    $cmdsplit = StringSplit($cmdline, " ")
                    For $i = 0 To UBound($cmdsplit) - 1 
                        Select 
                        Case $i = 1
                            $cmdparam_1 = StringStripWS($cmdsplit[$i], 8)
                        Case $i = 2 
                            $cmdparam_2 = StringStripWS($cmdsplit[$i], 8)
                        Case $i = 3
                            $cmdparam_3 = StringStripWS($cmdsplit[$i], 8)
                        EndSelect
                    Next
            EndIf

EDIT:

while the string $cmdstring = "debug debug ikdkaksometextskdkakjs123"

$cmdline is already defined. As I hear you ask? Read on:

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

In addition to $CmdLine there is a variable called $CmdLineRaw that contains the entire command line unsplit, so for the above example:

$CmdLineRaw equals... myscript.au3 param1 "this is another param"

If the script was compiled it would have been run like this:

myscript.exe param1 "this is another param"

$CmdLineRaw equals... param1 "this is another param"

Note that $CmdLineRaw just return the parameters.

Note : only 63 parameters can be return by $CmdLine[...], but $CmdLineRaw will always returns the entire command line.

If you change the varible name you will be good to go.

aye, thanks, didn't know that $CmdLine is an autoit-constant
