Reference (Scripting) > Command Line Syntax

The Docklight Scripting application supports command line arguments to load (and run) predefined project or script files. Use the following command syntax:

Docklight_Scripting.exe [ -r ] [ -m ] [ -i ] [ projectPathName.ptp ] [ scriptPathName.pts ]

The Docklight scripting command line has these parts:

Part	Description
-r	Optional argument, used in combination with scriptPathName.pts. Runs the script immediately. If no run-time error or user stop occurs, the Docklight Scripting application is closed after the script execution ends.
-m	Optional argument. Minimize the Docklight Scripting application window on startup.
-i	Optional argument. Invisible operation / no main window. Useful in combination with the -r option and scriptPathName.pts.
projectPathName.ptp	Optional. Loads the Docklight project file projectPathName.ptp
scriptPathName.pts	Optional. Loads the Docklight script file scriptPathName.pts

Remarks

If your script uses the StartLogging or the FileInput / FileOutput interface, and you just provide a file name, but not a complete directory path as a parameter, Docklight Scripting will use the current script / project directory.

Example

Docklight_Scripting.exe -r C:\myScript.pts

Loads the Docklight script file C:\myScript.pts and executes it.
