#176820 - 2007-06-08 07:44 AM Get Batch Info
ClientMaster ClientMaster Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-01-19 Posts: 46 Loc: Tokyo, Japan	I am running a kix batch as logon on all of my client pcs. this kix batch is started by using a DOS batch. I am trying to get the kix batch to retrieve the DOS batch name and log it. Any ideas how I can get the logonscript DOS batch name? _________________________ How can you know good, unless you experience bad.

For example: kix32 yourscript.kix $batch=%0 then in your kix script just write or display the $batch variable like normal. For example: ? "[" +$batch + "]" _________________________ (... better days ahead)

For example, in your batch file: Code: REM ********************************* REM * THIS IS THE XYZLOGON.BAT FILE * REM ********************************* \\server\path\kix32.exe \\server\path\logon.kix $sBatchFile="XYZLOGON.BAT" Then you can pick up and display the value in KiXtart: Code: "This script was called by batch file '"+$sBatchFile+'"'+@CRLF [edit]Allen was faster, and the %0 is simpler.

Also, why do you need to log the batch file name to begin with? Edited by Sealeopard (2007-06-09 03:30 AM) _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

For example: ? "[" +$batch + "]" Is their a way to do this without the kix32?? As my command line is currently yourscript.kix $batch=%0 And the $batch variable is empty. Cheers, Dave.

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4572 Loc: USA	I'm a little confused by your question. Are you doing this in a batch file or directly from the command line? If it is from the command line, I'm guessing you've set up an association with .kix and kix32.exe, so is there no batch... can you give us more details?

FromTheBeanBag FromTheBeanBag Lurker Registered: 2007-06-19 Posts: 3	Sorry for the confuzzlement.. As you've guessed, I've setup an association for .kix to launch kix32 and i don't need to prepend the command line with the kix32.. When the command line is kix32 script.kix $args=hello123 $args is parsed into the script.kix and all is good. But when the command line is just script.kix $args=hello123 The variable $args does not appear within the script. Cheers, Dave

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4572 Loc: USA	I believe the problem is in your association. Try changing it to something like: kix32.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 or kix32.exe %* [edit: just thinking... I dont believe %* will work... it will include %0 which is not what you want] Edited by Allen (2007-06-19 07:08 AM) _________________________ (... better days ahead)

FromTheBeanBag FromTheBeanBag Lurker Registered: 2007-06-19 Posts: 3	WOOHOO! FIXED!! As the script name was being passed to kix32.exe, i just assumed all variables were being passed.. But infact the mapping only had %1 passed. Thanks for ya help!! Much appreciated. Cheers, Dave
