AutoIT ShellExecuteRaw()

[DDoSer]

[HIDE-THANKS]This UDF takes a raw string and parses it into command and parameters variables, which it passes to ShellExecute() -- or ShellExecuteWait() if variable $vWait is set. I use it to read command strings from an .ini file, which can be executed by entering a short alias, or key. For example, with the following .ini entry I can open the NY Times website in Firefox by simply entering "N":

N="C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

ShellExecuteRaw() parses the command string into command and parameter(s), and then returns ShellExecute[Wait]().

>Func ShellExecuteRaw($R, $vWorkingDir="", $vVerb="", $vWait="")
#cs
   Format raw string as "command", "params" for ShellExecute[Wait]()
   Variables: $R = raw string; $C = command; $D = delimiter; $P = params
   If input var $vWait is set, func returns
       ShellExecuteWait($C, $P, $vWorkingDir, $vVerb)
   otherwise, it returns
       ShellExecute($C, $P, $vWorkingDir, $vVerb)
#ce
   Local $C = $R, $D = " ", $P = ""
   If StringInStr($R, '"') == 1 Then
       $D = '" '
   EndIf
   If StringInStr($R, $D) > 0 Then
       $C = StringTrimRight( $R, StringLen($R) _
           - StringinStr($R, $D) + 2 - StringLen($D) )
       $P = StringTrimLeft( $R, StringInStr($R, $D) )
   EndIf
   Local $ShellFuncName = "ShellExecute"
   If $vWait Then
       $ShellFuncName = $ShellFuncName & "Wait"
   EndIf
   Return Call($ShellFuncName, $C, $P, $vWorkingDir, $vVerb)
EndFunc ; ShellExecuteRaw
