can a .jsl file accept arguments?

I've looked through the scripting guide, but can't find anything about this (I must be looking in the wrong places).

Is it possible to pass arguments to a .jsl file? For example, if I had a directory full of addins, and wanted to register them, can I write a Windows batch file that will retrieve each addin filename and pass it to a script that will register that addin?

Thanks.

The best way to do this is to use JSL functions.

The technique is outlined well in an earlier thread.

Hey, Jeff -

Thanks for the reference. That solution, while a bit elaborate, seems like a good way to go. Now...what about invoking a .bat file from within a .jsl script, and passing parameters to it?

Thanks again.

You might have to dymanically generate a .bat or .cmd file that calls your main bat file. Something like this:

p1 = "Hello";

pt = "World";

cmd_file_text = evalinsert("C:\myprogs\mainbatfile ^p1^ ^p2^");

cmd_file = "c:\TEMP\tmprun.cmd";

// Write this file out to a known file location

save text file(cmd_file, cmd_file_text);

// Now execute the command file

open(cmd_file);

Thanks, PMroz. As a side question, why is it that EvalInsert isn't listed in the scripting index? I've noticed on other occasions as well that there seem to be quite a few undocumented features that I should know about. Is there a more comprehensive list of functions/features available somewhere?
