How to pass command-line arguments to AHK script?
I'd like to run the AHK script with arguments, like:
AutoHotkeyU64 file.ahk arg1 arg2
Then access these variables as part of the script, e.g.
MsgBox, %arg1%, %arg2%
How this can be achieved?

The command line parameters are stored in the variables %1%, %2%, and so on. So for example:
MsgBox, %1%, %2%
Since version v1.1.27+, input parameters are stored as an array in the built-in variable A_Args as an array.
Here is the example:
for n, param in A_Args ; For each parameter:
{
MsgBox Parameter number %n% is %param%.
}
Legacy: The command line parameters are also stored in the variables
%1%,%2%, and so on, as in versions prior to [v1.1.27]. In addition,%0%contains the number of parameters passed (0 if none). However, these variables cannot be referenced directly in an expression because they would be seen as numbers rather than variables.
