Hi.
While programming I often use ConsoleWrite() for debugging. If the script isn’t to big I often don’t do extra logging but let my ConsoleWrite()’s inside. Sometimes difficulties appear later when @compiled and weeks are gone. So my first thought often is let’s run the script and catch the console outs of my script. So I coded a console reader.
There are two ways to start the buggy script. First via $cmdline send to the reader and second with drag’n’drop onto the readers gui.

Maybe someone will find it useful too.
One last remark. If only one script is given via $cmdline to the reader no scripts will exit if consolereader exits. But otherwise all scripts dropped onto the readers gui will exit too. This is by design. If you want to change this do it inside func _exit().
Regards, Conrad
P.S. Possibly some #includes are not necessary anymore but have been while scripting.
, Are you tired of searching the forum for getting both the exit code & the stdout output? Then your are in the right place!
