I have a fairly simple question.
Is it possible to pass an argument to an adobe Extendscript using a command line?
I work for a medium sized facility and we have a scripting language mismatch between art programs and shot tracking software.
I often have to use the command line to trigger a python script from a .jsx and i can pass arguments to it fairly easily.
python c:\Spam.py arg0 arg1 arg 2
i know i can run an instance of a script from the command line in a a new AE window
afterfx.exe -m -r c:\test.jsx
I know i can write out a .csv file with python and call theat .csv in the AE script.
HOWEVER, many people will be using this script. Utilizing a single .ini/.txt/.csv file will invite the change of data being overwritten before it is read.
Is there a way in CC 2014 to be able to pass the name of a specific file as an argument to the script so i can reference a unique data set each time that script is called.
afterfx.exe -m 0r c:\test.jsx "x=c:\test\thisFile.csv"
(the above does not work, btw)
and if so what is the syntax to assign the argument to a variable?
