passing filemask as parameter

HI,
I had created some script templates for code reusing. The basis template created are working well.

However, as the demands get more complicated. I found that I'll need to pass switches in as parameter to do filtering. Somehow when I try to do that, I am encountering errors. When I hard code the switches in the script template, it's working.

Following is a working sample template:
option batch abort
option confirm off
option transfer binary
open %1% -privatekey="%2%" -hostkey="%3%"
get -filemask=*>1D "%5%" "%4%"
close
exit

Pls advice how can I change the switches to accept parameter. Is it possible in the first place?

Thanks.

Please attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

HI,
Pls see the log file attached.

Sensitive data have been masked.

This is how I made the call to pass parameters:

--------------------------------
C:\"Program Files (x86)"\WinSCP\winscp.exe /log=D:\FolderA\UAT\ProductB\SFTPSCRIPTS\LOG\MaskedSwitchLog_20150414.log /script=D:\FolderA\UAT\PROCESS\sftpScp_GetMaskedFile.txt /parameter userloginID@HostIP:PortNum D:\SFTPKEYS\ProductB\PartnerC\user_PartnerC.ppk "HostKeyMasked" D:\FolderA\UAT\ProductB\FolderB\PartnerC "/XYZ" "-filemask=*>1D"
---------------------------------

legend for above:
/log = path for log file output
/script = path for script template
/parameter 1st=userid, host IP & port num, 2nd=path for private key file, 3rd=Host Key, 4th=local Dir 5th=remote Dir 6th=switch


Following is the sample of the script template which is to take in the parameters:

----------sample---------------
option batch abort
option confirm off
option transfer binary
open %1% -privatekey="%2%" -hostkey="%3%"
get "%6%" "%5%" "%4%"
close
exit
----------sample---------------

Parameter %6% is the parameter for switch.

Not sure is the above the correct way of doing. Pls enlighten me.

Thanks.

OK, WinSCP recognizes the /filemask=*>1D as command-line switch, instead of a parameter of the script.

Just prefix the parameter list with // to avoid them ever being interpreted as switches.

C:\"Program Files (x86)"\WinSCP\winscp.exe /log=D:\FolderA\UAT\ProductB\SFTPSCRIPTS\LOG\MaskedSwitchLog_20150414.log /script=D:\FolderA\UAT\PROCESS\sftpScp_GetMaskedFile.txt /parameter // userloginID@HostIP:PortNum D:\SFTPKEYS\ProductB\PartnerC\user_PartnerC.ppk "HostKeyMasked" D:\FolderA\UAT\ProductB\FolderB\PartnerC "/XYZ" "-filemask=*>1D"

Thanks. I finally got it working after a few tries.
