_iecreate and passing variables from command line

[deef99]

Yes, I am a newbie. Thank you in advance for any insight you can give me!

I need to get a parameter from the command line which looks like this:

"vbget.exe" %v %m

An example of the data that populates them [data coming from a phone switch]:

%v = IB 1234567222 GR MA

%m = 1234567890

I need the script to simply look at the first 2 characters in %v and open a url if they are IV or IB. That part I have figured out. What I am struggling with is how to get the values of %v and %m onto the URL line, which needs to be:

http://gr.com/orderentry/projfind.aspx?tfn=%v&ani=%m

Here's what I have so far:

#include <IE.au3>

dim $mtfn

dim $mvdn

dim $mani

$oIE = _IECreate ("http://gr.com/orderentry/projfind.aspx?tfn=")

;store FIRST command line parameter...which is %v...to mvdn variable.

; Set field values

_IEFormElementSetValue ($CMDLINE[1], $mvdn)

_IEFormElementSetValue ($CMDLINE[2], $mtfn)

_IEFormElementSetValue ($CMDLINE[5], $mani)

;check that first 2 characters of mvdn IB or IV...%v = IB xxxxxxxxxx XX XX

If $CMDLINE[1] = "IB" Then

;load IB Sales Script

AND I AM STUCK HERE !!!!

Else

;exit script without opening an IE window

Exit

EndIf

Look up StringLeft() fucntion in the help file. You can do something like:

Switch StringLeft($CmdLine[1], 2)
    Case "IB", "IV"
        ; Process this case
    Case Else
        ; Process this case
EndSwitch

Getting alittle farther here...

The code below gets me almost there...the line in red needs to be what I have in BOLD.

#include <IE.au3>

dim $mvdn = $CMDLINE[1]

dim $mtfn = $CMDLINE[2]

dim $ani = $CMDLINE[5]

;check that first 2 characters of command line are IB or IV...%v = IB xxxxxxxxxx XX XX

If $CMDLINE[1] = "IB" OR $CMDLINE[1]= "IV" Then

;load Screen Pops

MsgBox(4096, "ani",$ani)

_IECreate ("http://dr.xxxx.com/orderentry/IPAgent_answer.aspx?tfn="&$mtfn+"&ani="&$ani)

Else

;exit script without opening an IE window

Exit

EndIf

This is what I get:

http://dr.xxx.com/orderentry/IPAgent_answer.aspx?tfn=8003143948999999999

Needs to Be:

http://dr.xxx.com/orderentry/IPAgent_answer.aspx?tfn=8003143948&ani=999999999

_IECreate ("http://dr.xxxx.com/orderentry/IPAgent_answer.aspx?tfn="&$mtfn+"&ani="&$ani)

This is what I get:

http://dr.xxx.com/orderentry/IPAgent_answer.aspx?tfn=8003143948999999999

Needs to Be:

http://dr.xxx.com/orderentry/IPAgent_answer.aspx?tfn=8003143948&ani=999999999

Your use of "+" converts the strings to numbers and adds the values. Use "&" instead to concatenate the strings.

_IECreate("http://dr.xxxx.com/orderentry/IPAgent_answer.aspx?tfn=" & $mtfn & "&ani=" & $ani)

Oh, and spacing makes it easier to read.
