Passing Variables


Recommended Posts

I would like to know how I can pass variables through an exe... What I mean is, I have a program that is the same but depending on the shortcut I would have it do something different.

Example: (a different program)

Here is a shortcut I have

"C:\Program Files\EFI\PSI\Psmain.exe USER=Shipping,COMPANY=B"

the Variables would be

User=Shipping

&

Company=b

How Can I do this?

$CmdLineRaw contains 'USER=Shipping,COMPANY=B', split that string accordingly.

,or switch to a usage like:

"C:\Program Files\EFI\PSI\Psmain.exe USER=Shipping COMPANY=B"

$CmdLine[1] = 'USER=Shipping'

$CmdLine[2] = 'COMPANY=B'

,or switch to a usage like:

"C:\Program Files\EFI\PSI\Psmain.exe Shipping B"

$CmdLine[1] = 'Shipping'

$CmdLine[2] = 'B'

Search for "Command Line Parameters" in the Help-File.

This is all assuming that PSmain.exe is the compiled autoit executable you are coding.

Re-reading the question... is there any other assumption possible I don't see :P ?

I just worried that by this line:

Example: (a different program)

He might have meant that he wanted to grab the parameters that were sent to a different executable... to which the answer would be... "I do not think so".

Your answer was most likely on the right track.
