how to get parameters with autoit


Recommended Posts

Hi

i am trying to write a script that takes a parameter from a vbscript and then goes on and checks that parameter and does the conversions it is supposed to do.

i have looked in the help file and i cant find an example on how to call the autoit .exe from the vbscript file. could someone please help.

this is the code

CODE
$edition = 0

If $CmdLine[0] = 1 Then

$edition = $CmdLine[1]

EndIf

If $edition = 'Developer' Then

; Run Deverloper and convert all the Report Batches, Reports and Dashboards

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\\\.exe"); path where .exe file is located

Sleep(5000)

report($edition)

ElseIf $edition = 'Developerx86' Then

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\\\.exe") ;path to where the .exe file is located

ElseIf $edition = 'officex86' Then

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\\\.exe")

EndIf

Func Report($editions)

all i want to get from the vbscript is on parameter which gives the name of the edition.

this is what i have but this only opens the converter0.3.exe

CODE
dim shell

set shell=createobject("wscript.shell")

shell.run "C:\Users\dh\Desktop\automation\conversion0.3.exe"

set shell=nothing

any help is appreciated.

Since my knowledge of vbscript is close to zero I probably shouldn't even answer, but I think it should be as simple as

dim shell
set shell=createobject("wscript.shell")
shell.run """C:\Users\dh\Desktop\automation\conversion0.3.exe"" ""Developer"""
set shell=nothing

(the quotes are x3 then x2 then a space then x2 then x3)
