DOS console alert if bad parameters

[myspacee]

hello to all,

can't find hint about bad or missing parameters.

run exe in DOS mode that need 2 or more par,

if user not respect rules exe return usage metod

find only exit if parameters is missing.

If $CmdLine[0] = 0 Then

Exit

EndIf

i want an output error on DOS console

ex:

dir /? -> usage switches

myapplication.exe [without par] -> usage method

[MHz]

If I understand you good, then you may want this example

If $CmdLine[0] < 2 Then
    ; Less then 2 parameters so show help then exit
    ConsoleWrite('dir /? -> usage switches' & @CRLF)
    Exit
ElseIf $CmdLine[0] And $CmdLine[1] = '/?' Then
    ; /? used so show help then exit
    ConsoleWrite('dir /? -> usage switches' & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

I find in manual this :

_____ConsoleWrite_______________________________________________________________

Remarks

The purpose for this function is to write to a console which many popular text editors can read.

This does not write to a DOS console. < -------------------- !

I want output message to DOS console...

You need the latest SciTe editor AutoItWrapper option to make a CUI Portable Executable

expandcollapse popup

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

; compile as CUI and run

; NOTE: requires latest version of SciTe editor or autoitwrapper with compile option 
; to change PE header subsystem to CUI instead of GUI (or get makecui.exe)
; note the compiler directive: #AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y

; needs error handling for duplicate commandline options e.g. @ScriptName  /option1 /option1
; would meet minimum requirement of 2 params but commands are duplicates.
