How to pass a parameter to vbscript?
1
I have a vbs that runs several tor connections:
proxycount = 3
countries = ""
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = FSO.OpenTextFile("proxyList.txt", 2, True)
For i=0 To proxycount-1 Step 1
Port = 9000 + i
CPort = 8000 + i
If Not (countries = "") Then
countries = " -ExitNodes " & countries
End If
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "datator.exe -f datatorrc -SocksPort " & Port & " -ControlPort " & CPort & " -DataDirectory datatorf" & i & countries, 0
WshShell = Null
f.WriteLine "127.0.0.1:" & Port
Next
f.Close
And it works great, but when I'm trying to pass on proxycount as a parameter:
CMD
it stops working:
countries = ""
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = FSO.OpenTextFile("proxyList.txt", 2, True)
For i=0 To WScript.Arguments(0)-1 Step 1
Port = 9000 + i
CPort = 8000 + i
If Not (countries = "") Then
countries = " -ExitNodes " & countries
End If
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "datator.exe -f datatorrc -SocksPort " & Port & " -ControlPort " & CPort & " -DataDirectory datatorf" & i & countries, 0
WshShell = Null
f.WriteLine "127.0.0.1:" & Port
Next
f.Close
with error "string 17, symbol 2. Can't find a file" in this line:
WshShell.Run "datator.exe -f datatorrc -SocksPort " & Port & " -ControlPort " & CPort & " -DataDirectory datatorf" & i & countries, 0
What am I doing wrong? I don't know where the error is.

How do you pass the parameter? If it is a numerical value I believe this should work. It would not work if you pass it as say-10(with the dash). Also, the lineWshShell = Nulldoes not what you want I think, should probably beSet WshShell = Nothing

@Arno van Boven, it is a numerical value "launch.vbs 2". I added the screenshot in the post.

I don't immediately spot a difference. You'd expect a file with a 0 and a 1 if you pass 2 as the argument. (and 0, 1 and 2 in the hardcoded example). Check if you can find a difference in the generated filenames when using the different methods.

Adding this line in the beginning fixed the problem:
WshShell.CurrentDirectory = FSO.GetParentFolderName(WSH.ScriptFullName)
