FileCreateShortcut Problem

[torels]

Hi there

I want to create a shortcut with the following link: "C:\some dir\autoit3.exe" "C:\some dir 2\myscript.au3" "parameter 1"

the problem is that using FileCreateShortcut what I get if I click on the Properties is this: ""C:\some dir\autoit3.exe" "C:\some dir 2\myscript.au3"" "parameter 1"... and it obviously doesn't work

here is the code

FileCreateShortcut('"C:\some dir\autoit3.exe" "C:\some dir 2\myscript.au3"', "C:\somelink", -1, '"Parameter 1"')

can somebody help please ?

thanks in advance

Hey,

check the helpfile for the correct syntax

; FileCreateShortcut ( "file", "lnk" [, "workdir" [, "args" [, "desc" [, "icon" [, "hotkey" [, icon number [, state]]]]]]] )

FileCreateShortcut(@AutoItExe, @ScriptDir & '\mylink.lnk', '', '"' & @ScriptDir & '\myscript.au3" "Param 1"')

The first param is the file to execute, AutoIt.exe

The second is the link to create

Third is the workdir

Then the fourth param is for the arguments, in this case the path to your script so that AutoIt.exe (from the first param) can execute the script

Edit: forgot the Param 1

I solved the problem, I was passing a wrong number of args, not considering that the only thing that wasn't meant to be a parameter was the autoit3.exe file
