How to Pass two arguments in shellExecuteWait

shellExecuteWait(@ScriptDir & "\EVM.exe",$Aircraft & '" "' & $sheet_name)

$Aircraft=$CmdLine[0]

$sheet_name=$CmdLine[1]

How do we differentiate  the two parameters?

 

Thank you

you need to connect everything with & every time you change from variable to string

 

[alienclone]

also, your variables should be before your shellexecute

to check if you have everything formatted correctly you can output to console while in the scite editor...

$Aircraft="aircraft"

$sheet_name="sheet_name"

$myString = @ScriptDir & '\EVM.exe ' & $Aircraft & ' | ' & $sheet_name

ConsoleWrite($myString)

Thanks for your reply.

i want to use Aircraft and sheet_name in another autoit script.

when i use the $sheet_name it gets appended with the  $Aircraft value  like this :    aircraft|sheet_name

however i want only sheet_name.

check out string split

$CmdLine[0] returns the number of parameters, so for the command above it should return the following, if aircraft or sheet has spaces then make sure you enclose in quotes ""

$CmdLine[0] = 2
$CmdLine[1] = Aircraft
$CmdLine[2] = Sheet

Another way is to use the following UDF, might be overkill for this, but I use the udf frequently.

Using something like, just compile and run:
Usage: ShellExecute("Script.exe", "--Aircraft "Aircraft Value" "--Sheet "Sheet Value" ;~ Quotes only required if value includes spaces
 

#include <CmdLine.au3>

Global $g_sResult = ""

If _CmdLine_Get("Aircraft") <> Null Then $g_sResult &= "Aircraft = " & _CmdLine_Get("AirCraft") & @CRLF
If _CmdLine_Get("Sheet") <> Null Then $g_sResult &=  "Sheet = " & _CmdLine_Get("Sheet") & @CRLF

;~ Debugging/Testing purposes
Global $g_bDebug = _CmdLine_FlagExists("Debug") ? False : True
If $g_bDebug Then
    ShellExecute(@ScriptFullPath, '/Aircraft "aircraft with whitespace" /Sheet "sheet with white space" -Debug')
EndIf
If $g_sResult <> "" Then MsgBox(4096, "Results", $g_sResult)

i see that i completely misunderstood the question, i thought they were trying to pass arguments TO the shellexecute line
