Scroll Prev Top Next More

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.
