Like when i start a exe "filename.exe -switch1 -switch2 etc"?
Thanks.
Thanks.
You can easily get the command line using:
GetCommandLine API:
The GetCommandLine function returns a pointer to the command-line string for the current process.
LPTSTR GetCommandLine(VOID)
Parameters
This function has no parameters.
Return Values
The return value is a pointer to the command-line string for the current process.
Remarks
Non-Unicode console processes written in C can use the argc and argv arguments to access the command-line arguments. The parameters of the command-line string, excluding the program name, are also available to such non-Unicode applications as a parameter of the WinMain function. The reason for the Unicode exclusion from these options is that WinMain, argc, and argv use the LPSTR data type for parameters, not the LPTSTR datatype.
--------------
And from your WinMain:
invoke GetCommandLine ; returns a pointer to the command line in eax
mov CommandLine, eaxGetCommandLine API:

hPrevInst :DWORD,
[COLOR=blue]CmdLine :DWORD[/COLOR] ,
CmdShow :DWORDIf you do get command-line, you still need to slice it into parts:
would point to first parameter (executable name), to second parameter (-switch1), etc. C-style.

Afternoon, Ghirai.
Also remember that, if you drag'n'drop a file onto an exe, you won't get the correct commandline supplied.
To make sure the commandline is supplied, drag'n'drop a file onto a ShortCut of your exe.
