run script with switches?

[kudrow]

Is there a way to run a script but pass dynamic variables to it? Maybe with switches? I want to use php to execute a script but send variables to it from the php side.

Thanks!

Hi, kudrow, welcome to the forum. Do a search for $CmdLine and $CmdLineRaw in the help file. It helps you pass parameters to your compiled script.

Thats it! Thank you!

Well, I tried passing more than 1 parameter but only the first paramater is displayed.

My example is

run C:testtest.au3 param1 param2

The code in test.au3 is:

$t1=$CmdLine[1]

$t2=$CmdLine[2]

MsgBox (1, "test", $t2)

I am trying to get $t2 to display but no matter what I do $t1 is what is passed.

Thanks.

How do you run: run C:testtest.au3 param1 param2?

Compile your script and run it e.g. from cmd directly: test.exe param1 param2

Try

MsgBox (1, "test", $CmdLine[0])

to see how many parameters get passed.

Or run it from SciTE

View > Parameters

Or run it from SciTE

View > Parameters

I prefer that method too OR even Shift + F8 if I have my hands on the keyboard.

kudrow,

Another way to pass parms from a source script (executed from either scite or double clicking on the .au3 file)

;
; driving script
;
shellexecute('k:autoitsourceparmtest.au3','parm1 parm2 parm3=what parm4')

;
; driven script
;
#include <array.au3>
_arraydisplay($cmdline,'My command line parms')

edit: autoit has to be installed on the machine doing the shellexecute, otherwise go with the compiled option as suggested earlier.

They way I was running it was (win7) start>search for run> windows run>C:testtest.au3 param1 param2. This did not work. It only returned the first parameter.

This worked. I also used the suggested

MsgBox (1, "test", $CmdLine[0]) to see how many parameters are being passed and it worked like a charm. Thank you for the awesome help everyone.

OK, it has been a long time since I have had a chance to play with AutoIT and I appear to be over thinking my situation. It has to be something simple.

I have a text file that is holding the contents of a $CmdLineRaw result sent from a third party application. I want to resend this same results to another application.

I am reading the text file and then trying to use RUN ("Direct Path To EXE" & $Textfromfile) It does not work. I am not sure how to do what I am trying to do.

Any Ideas?

Can you please post the complete Run statement? Maybe you are just missing a space.

[kudrow]

$text = FileReadLine ( $file, 1 )
MsgBox (1, "Hand Off 2 Complete", "yeah")

$command = "C:\Program Files\Optos\Optomap Applications\Capture2.exe"
Run ($command & $text)
FileClose ($file)

Try:

$text = FileReadLine ( $file, 1 )
MsgBox (1, "Hand Off 2 Complete", "yeah")

$command = '"C:\Program Files\Optos\Optomap Applications\Capture2.exe"'
Run ($command & " " & $text)
FileClose ($file)

$command = '"C:\Program Files\Optos\Optomap Applications\Capture2.exe"'
Run ($command & " " & $text)
FileClose ($file)

Thats it!!!!! I knew it was something simple. THANK YOU!
