Hello,
I'm using external tools to start a number of similar environments (application where I'm testing my scripts which I write in CDT)
command line to start this environments contains only one difference:
host_application.exe one_param second_param ... my_script xxx[n]yyyy

there are too many envs to create a reference on each one.
the prefer solution is a creating one external tool configuration and pop up a window to ask user the number as parameter [n]

is this possible in CDT?

In the External Tools Configurations, there is an Arguments box where I'm guessing you are placing the arguments. Notice the Variables... button at the lower right. You can open this to introduce variables to the arguments. One of the variables is string_prompt. This will prompt the user to enter a value when the launch is performed.

Is this what you are looking for?
