Thanks i found the help.

But i have a doubt. currently i am running an exe in my script as follows.

Run(@ScriptDir & "\Wrong Format1.exe")

so how to pass arguements in that command and in the same way how to get those arguements in Wrong Format1.au3 and process.

Please help.

You can do something like :

Run(@ScriptDir & "\Wrong Format1.exe param1 'some param info'")

in your wrong format1.exe

$CmdLineRaw equals... param1 "some param info"

$CmdLine[0] equals... 2

$CmdLine[1] equals... param1

$CmdLine[2] equals... "some param info"

You can pass arguments to the script if you run it from SciTE. Choose the view menu then parameters. You are limited to a maximum of 4 parameters though.

You can also use RUN and then you can have as many parameters as you like.

$AutoItProdexePath = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt","InstallDir");installDir for production
$AutoItBetaexePath = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt","betaInstallDir");installDir for production
$AutoItexePath = $AutoItBetaexePath;default to beta??

Run( '"' & $AutoItexePath & '\AutoIt3.exe" $ScriptFolder & "\Wrong Format1.au3" ' & $param1 & ' ' & $param2 & ' ' & $param3)

You need spaces. What you have now results into:

"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe\C:\Users\You\yourscript.au3\Wrong Format1.au310"

The error is caused by this:

Run( '"' & $AutoItexePath & "\AutoIt3.exe" @ScriptDir & "\Wrong Format1.au3" & 10)
; . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ^ no &

Then read it again.

i tried by removing '&', but still same error.....syntax error.

[jvanegmond]
