.NET & Compiled Exes

[rguez_18]

Anyone has experience calling compiled exes and passing variables to it from C#.NET? I'm trying to automate a tool but need to pass variable to the compiled script from my .NET desktop app. Any help/hint is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

To pass variables just use exename.exe /variablename=value etc. Shell the exe the same way you would any other. E.g.: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1567 ... to-be-done

Hi Marcus,
Thanks for your reply, another question though, when you create a variable on your script does it automatically become a parameter when you compile the script into exe? Or is there anything else needed before you can use it as a parameter. Thanks!

1) Create a script named display_text.scp and put in one line.

Code: Select all

MDL>strText

2) Compile display_text.scp

3) Run display_text.exe with /strText= as the parameter and whatever text you add will be displayed.
display_text /strText="Hello World"

You should see a Macro Scheduler message that contains Hello World.
Basically the parameter is automatically a variable in the script.
