AutoHotkey Community

Not sure if it's a matter of no one using command line arguments with autohotkey_h, or that no one uses autohotkey_h v2, or a mixture of both, but, since release 2 a081 H003 (oldest one I have) autohotkey_h has been unable to parse cmd line args properly.
It repeats the arguments. This issue doesn't happen with lexikos' version.

To reproduce

Ahk file Command prompt Above results in first second third second passed to the script.

Command prompt Above results in first second third fourth second fourth passed to the script.

It is not a bug, it is a feature but I forgot to mention it in docs.
If you want to access passed parameters one by one you will need to use: Additionally in your example you can access parameters by name:A_Args.first = "second" and A_Args.third = "fourth"

Code: Select all

Loop A_Args.length()
  MsgBox A_Index "`n" A_Args[A_Index]

Like a security feature? or what does it provide? can you link a commit?

No this is a feature to pass command line parameters by name, see here: https://github.com/HotKeyIt/ahkdll/blob ... t.cpp#L948
