Hey Guys,

I'm searching for a method to pass a skin-string to a python script in order to pass the skin-string as a parameter for a third-party app, like dos-script or bash-script?
Did not find any hint here in the forum and on google...
Somebody already tried this?

cheers,

Max,

Is the link to the script part of the skin code? If so, couldn't you just pass the string as an infolabel - e.g.

Code:

<onclick>RunScript(script.myscript, skinstring=$INFO[Skin.String(your-skin-string)])</onclick>

You could then parse the arguments in the python script.

Or have I misunderstood?

Hey el_p,

thanks for replying...
yes, starting the script is part of the skin...I suppose adding several skin-strings after each other won't be a problem...
Let's see...
I'll try and report back...

cheers,
Max

You can pass as many strings as you like, just do something like

Code:

skinstring1=foo&skinstring2=bar&skinstring3=...

You can then parse them in your script with the following.

Code:

try:    
  # parse sys.argv for params    
  try:params = dict( arg.split( "=" ) for arg in sys.argv[ 1 ].split( "&" ) )    
  except:params =  dict( sys.argv[ 1 ].split( "=" ))
except:    
  # no params passed    
  params = {}
