how to run a external program and pass parameters

maybe this thread will help you: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/99383

I'd like to find an image
run an program and pass the x, y of image;

so I can not use the batch file.

OK, then you can use something like this:

For example, if I need to open a picture using Paint.

openApp("cmd")
sleep(1)
type("c:\\2.bat c:\\_mg_5790.jpg\n")

and the bat file is:

i:\windows\system32\mspaint %1

if you need to use two parameters in bat file, write <myprogram> %1 %2.

and don't forget to close "cmd" window after all.

Is this is what you need?

Thanks,

but I need to do it in a loop,

open cmd window and sleep(1) will take a lots of time.

Then, it's better to ask guys to add parameter support in "openApp" :)

It seems that the always have: use

cmdexec("notepad c:\\1.txt")

it works! Hope this will help you.
