Passing Parameter to Script

[GlenHart]

Hi,

I would like a Parameter to a script that I have written that runs as a NT Service.

I do not know if the MACRO_PARMS could be used here, in which case how do I get information into it?

Thanks

From the HELP file:

When running a Macro from the command line in this way, you can also pass parameter values into the script :

msched Example Script /filename=testfile.txt /path=c:\outpath\

The above example runs a script called 'Example Script' and passes two variable values in filename and path. These variables can be used in the usual way within the script, e.g. :

Change Directory>path
ifFileExists>filename,ok
Goto>end
Label>ok
Message>File Exists !!
Label>end

As a general practice I now usually include full path and file extension for script names, so I would use
msched C:\MacroPath\Example Script.scp /filename=testfile.txt /path=c:\outpath\

Thanks for this, but one further question.

How is it done with an .exe? Is it the same?

Thanks
Glen
