Python Script Parameters

[theride]

I am executing my python script from the command line (example below). Is there a way to pass parameters to the python script?

c:\program files\vandyke software\Clients\SecureCrt.exe" /Script "C:\pythonfile\script.py"


Thanks.

Hi theride,

You can use /ARG on the command-line to pass arguments to your script.

More info can be found in the following Help file topics:

• Scripting / Script Objects Reference / Application object
  
  
• Scripting / Script Objects Reference / Arguments object
  
  
• Using the Software / Command-Line Options / Table of Standard Command-Line Options

Depending on what you are trying to do, a simpler method might be to take advantage of the ability to pass arguments by configuring that script to be run from a button on the button bar.

Thanks for the quick response. I am trying to pass two strings to the script. Can you help me out with the syntax.

c:\program files\vandyke software\Clients\SecureCrt.exe" /Script "C:\pythonfile\script.py" /ARG "string1 string2"

i figured it out, thanks.

Hi theride,

Thanks for the update.

For others that might come across this post, the /ARG option should precede each argument:

SecureCrt.exe /Script "C:\pythonfile\script.py" /ARG "string1" /ARG "string2"
