if i have a compiled script that is running with the #singleinstance ignore directive, how can i pass parameters to the script as described here?

Is this even possible?

What kind of parameters are you passing? How are you trying to pass them to your script.exe? Can you show your code {or the relevant part}?

I made an EXE which replaces text {it goes a bit further than AHK's "native" replace}. I use "Win+Space" as the trigger then input the "code letters" which tell my program what to put {from an INI file}. You can use:
Hotkey, KeyName, Label, Options
...for your trigger. And something like this {directly from my replacer script}:

Thanks guys for the suggestions.

I am going to set up a right click context menu within explorer that will send the following to my script when a certain file is right clicked:

But that is easy to solve. Why use the context menu? No need! Simply use a hotkey in your script that will send ^c which will get the filepath from explorer into the clipboard and take it from there.

Thanks Hugov~

I already have a massive amount of hotkeys and one included to do just that, but i thought it would be easier for my users to have a context menu item in place as well.

drag & drop file(s) ?
