Pass search value to XY via cmd

I tried to pass the search value by /user switch and it works but for one-time unless you restart xy
is there another way to make it run again with existing instance of XY?
form command line:
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /script=cmd /user=%1 /flg=2
the script:
Code: Select all
echo get("CmdLineUser");
$a=get("CmdLineUser");
setkey "$a", "Named", "Named", "<xydata>\FindTemplates\cmd.ini";
#260;loadsearch "cmd", rlec

Your %1 is resolved during the XY call through your 3rd party application, right?
Then you can either use a perm variable (if you need it even if you quit xy in the meantime) or a global one
if it's only in the current session by:
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /script="::global $cmd;$cmd=%1;load 'cmd';" /flg=2
While the cmd.xys accesses this (in this case global) variable via:
Code: Select all
global $cmd;
echo $cmd;
<your other commands>...
And you could exchange "global" with "perm" in the xy call and cmd.xys + a "writepv;" command to save it...

Thanks a million highend
one more question, could XY remove first 3 letters like this batch file does?
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set w=%1
set W=%W:~3%
echo.%W%
"C:\Program Files\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /script="::global $cmd;$cmd=%W%;load 'cmd';" /flg=2

Thanks again
if interested here is a bookmarklet to search in xyplorer from firefox
Code: Select all
javascript:Qr=document.getSelection();if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Registry%20entry%20to%20find:',''))}if(Qr)location.href='xy:'+(Qr);void(0)
and this reg file to register the Protocol, of course in addition to your script
Code: Select all
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XY]
@="URL:XYplorer Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
"CustomUrlArguments"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XY\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XY\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XY\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\XYplorer\\XYplorer.exe\" /script=\"::global $cmd;$cmd=%1;load 'cmd';\" /flg=2"
