hotScript question

[sumone4life]

Is there a way to create a sort of hotScript where i can drap and drop x number of files onto the exe and it will run a set of commands on that list of files?

If you drop files on an executable they are readable from the $CmdLine variable. For more information search the AutoIt help file for command line.

Like Manadar said, but with a demo:

#include <Array.au3>

_ArrayDisplay($CmdLine, "$CmdLine")

MsgBox(64, "$CmdLineRaw", $CmdLineRaw)

Compile that to an .exe, then drag-n-drop file(s) on it in explorer.

Not much to it, huh?

P.S. Manadar would have included his own great demo, but he's having issues with his hosting service right now. Evidently their tubes are clogged!

Edit: Added Manadar's fancy demo of $CmdLineRaw.

Yes, tubes clogged. Can't do much about it. Someone was transfering pictures of an elephant. You can't fit an elephant through tiny wires like that.

I have a little example too

MsgBox(0, "", $CmdLineRaw)
