remove command line parameters

mustafah · 13th February 2010, 12:18

Hi,

Is it possible to remove specific command line arguments from within nsi script which are passed into the executable.

I am currently retrieving paramters specified to the executable using GetParameters. These parameters are then passed into a Java class which the nsi script executes.

However, I want to pass in additional parameters into the executable which can be read from the nsi script, but then removed before they are passed into the Java application

Thanks

GetOptions is probably the macro you need. It's in FileFunc.nsh.

Or just use StrCmp and StrCpy a couple of times. There's a 'findsubstring' macro or something as well, in textfunc.nsh I think.
