Command Line Options

[dbuechel]

Hey,

i have two problems:

i want to save my compiler variable when i make a setup with the function #Edit INI

next try - i load this ini file with command line option /CV

my problem: #Edit INI work only when i put a "=" at the INI item field - example:

Don´t work: _AUSWAHLRN_ "[_AUSWAHLRN_]"
work: _AUSWAHLRN_="[_AUSWAHLRN_]"

the biggest problem is - that the command line field is to short - with only 127 characters.

or can i read direkt a ini file by command line ?

Hello,

Well, the general Windows INI format is:

[section]
keyname=value

In other words, your _AUSWAHLRN_ "[_AUSWAHLRN_]" is not an INI item at all ;-) So it is the expected Windows behavior that this does not work! keyname=valuename translates into your _AUSWAHLRN_="[_AUSWAHLRN_]" which does work fine.

hey,

That's right, and I can live with it

But what should I do when i have more then 127 charaters ?!

Not sure what 127 byte limitation means in this case. Yes, there is a Windows/DOS command line limitation (depends on different factors), but if you are using a batch file, this is definitely >127 bytes. And there is no 127 bytes command line limitation in the SetupBuilder command line compiler per-se.

See attached screenshot. I passed a 200 byte value to the [TEST1] compiler variable without any problem.

BTW, if you are interested, I can post my test .sb7 project and the batch.bat file.

ok

with a batch file its work - but your function Run Command Line - or Run Program => Command Line have the limit.

I have make a batch file - with 739 characters.

But it is true that I only have one compiler variable can be passed by command line?

In the online help I was able to find anything.

Hello,

You can pass multiple compiler variable values via the sb7.exe command line compiler.

No, not our Run Program command line function has a 127 bytes limit. There is a specific Windows limit (but it depends on the Windows version).

i have 15 compiler variable - the setup take only the first !

i use windows 7 - and your function Run command Line can only this length of string:

12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 1234

The entry fields have a limit of 254. This has nothing to do with the command line length of your compiled .exe.

Create a runtime variable, e.g. %MY_COMMANDLINE% and then you can use a command line value of up to 1,024 bytes.

BTW, if you can only pass one value then you are doing something wrong. See attached screenshot.

The following command line passes two compiler variable values to the compiler:

sb7.exe" /C "c:\sbtest\galedon.sb7" /CV TEST1 "AAAAAAAAAA" /CV TEST2 "BBBBBBBBBB"

BTW, make sure you have defined the compiler variables in the Compiler Variables Visualizer!

Hope this helps.

lol

i have found the first problem - i have make sb7.exe" /C "c:\sbtest\galedon.sb7" /CV TEST1 "AAAAAAAAAA" TEST2 "BBBBBBBBBB"

and not sb7.exe" /C "c:\sbtest\galedon.sb7" /CV TEST1 "AAAAAAAAAA" /CV TEST2 "BBBBBBBBBB"



ok - but i have now the next problem:

command line: /CV _AUSWAHLRN_ "|Standard - Deutsch/English|Fränkische|REHAU"

setup select only Standard & Rehau

Command Line: /CV _AUSWAHLAW_ "|standard - update"

setup select two lines !

Command Line:
/CV _TREIBER_ "|BDE|DAO|ALADDIN_DIAGNOSTICS|HARDLOCK|HASP|HELPRE G|OPENDWG_CAE|ZIPDLL"

Setup forget one line!
