Command Line Arguments

[kspaceclaim]

Hi,

I am passing in a parameter when I call the EXE created by AutoPlay.
I pass the parameter like this:

LicenseInstaller.exe /lpgdir="c:\t\" - This is the directory where a file exists.

In the On Startup function I set a local variable equal to the _CommandLineArgs.

local strArgFound = "";
strArgFound = _CommandLineArgs[1];

When I display the strArgFound variable in a Dialog Message box it had this in it:

/lpgdir=c:\t" SFXSOURCE:c:\t\LicenseInstaller.exe

How do a get the /lpgdir=c:\t\ out of the variable? Why is showing the SFXSOURCE as well?

Thanks,
Kevin

If you enter the command line as /lpgdir="c:\t" it should work as expected. Or, you can add a trailing space, like in /lpgdir="c:\t\ ". If you finish the command line argument with a backslash, it will be interpreted as the start of an escape sequence, which isn't what you want.

Thank you Ulrich. That worked.

When I pass in the parameter /lpgir="c:\t\ " and then parse out the c:\t\ and put that into a variable, the Folder.DoesExist returns false for that folder which does exist. Any ideas why?

Thanks,
Kevin

Nevermind Ulrich. I figured out my issue. I needed to right trim the space off the string before concatenating with a file name.

I am all set.

Thank you,
Kevin
