Newbie: Initate macro from command line?

[Loopsludge]

Is it possible to run a Quickmacro from the command line, if so what is the syntax?

Also is it possible to format the command in a way to allow my macro to accept a username and password? If so, how would I do that?

Regards,

look up "Command line parameters" in the help and that should answer all your questions on that part.

you can alway build a message box that will look at the two fields and if they don't match what you have programmed in the macro ends without executing.

Create new function, name it MsgBoxUserPassword, and paste this code using menu Edit -> Other Formats -> Paste Escaped.

Function MsgBoxUserPassword

Code:

Copy      Help

;/
function# str&user str&password

;Shows a dialog where the user can input his user name and password.
;Returns 1 on OK, 0 on Cancel.
;On OK, stores user name and password in variables user and password.

;EXAMPLE
;str u p
;if(!MsgBoxUserPassword(u p)) ret
;out u
;out p


str controls = "3 4"
str e3 e4
if(!ShowDialog("MsgBoxUserPassword" 0 &controls)) ret

user=e3
password=e4
ret 1

;BEGIN DIALOG

In macros, where you need input for user name and password, call this function like in the example.
