Thanks for to all for the previous posts on getting command line arguments to jsx. I'm using CS3 and post #8 does not work. I generalized another post to have `generic` runjavascript.vbs.

Here's what I came up with.

command line example

runjavascript.vbs c:\mydirectory\test.jsx arg0 arg1 arg2 arg3


Set vbsArguments = WScript.Arguments

If vbsArguments.Length = 0 Then
	WScript.Echo "Argument(0) is `your script to execute"
	WScript.Echo "Arguments(0+n) are passed to your script as argument(0) to argument(n-1)"
Else
	ReDim jsxArguments(vbsArguments.length-2)	

	for i = 1 to vbsArguments.length - 1
		jsxArguments(i-1) = vbsArguments(i)
	Next	

	Set photoshop = CreateObject( "Photoshop.Application" )
	photoshop.BringToFront

	 'DoJavaScript has 3 parameters
	 ' syntax DoJavaScript(arg[0], arg[1], arg[2]]
	 'arg[0] == javascript file to execute, full pathname
	 'arg[1] == an array of arguments to past to the javascript
	 'arg[2] == AiJavaScriptExecutionMode: aiNeverShowDebugger = 1,, aiDebuggerOnError = 2 aiBeforeRunning = 3	
	 ' only use 1
	 Call photoshop.DoJavaScriptFile( vbsArguments(0), jsxArguments, 1)
End IF




#target photoshop

for( n = 0 ; n < arguments.length; n++ ){ alert("argument("+ n+")= " + arguments[n]); }
