Yashied thank you so much for your post, it will come in handy since I need to pass data between apps.

Edano, you just hurt my brain with that awesome display of code, I'm going to attempt to glean some knowledge from that.

I was thinking along the same lines as Edano, if you use a function to pass your button to you can read that button and add it to your reply. I probably didn't do this as well as some of the pros but it looks like it works on my end.

I don't know of a way to see the information with the Autoit Window Info, but Access Databases can usually be connected through via database connection methods. See link for more info

If powershell is in your path variables, you should be able to call it with the Run command using the @Comspec macro or ShellExecute statement.

I agree with JLogan, I started out using X and Y coordinates but quickly realized there would be issues and unknowns. I recommend ControlClick or ControlSetText commands. You can find the controls using the AutoIT Window Info applet.

I thought it might give some issues after I posted the code; I wrote it a couple years back and I don't update my AutoIT version or scripts as much as I should. I'm glad I could be of some help though.

I'm not sure if this will help exactly the way you are looking for but after your array is built you can use _ArraySearch to find any Batman.PST instances and _ArrayDelete the index.

Here is a quick and dirty script I have for returning command prompt data via the StdoutRead method. #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include <Array.au3> #Include <GuiEdit.au3> #comments-start This script allows DOS commands to be run via a GUI and output to the GUI Edit window. The GUI can also output text in the GUI Edit window to be placed in the clipboard for easy retrieval. #comments-end ;$command = ('dir /w c:') GUICreate("Dir",400,340) $Command = GUICtrlCreateInput("",10,280,300,20) $Output = GUICtrlCreateEdit("",10,10,380,255) $GoBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Go",270,305,40,20) $Clip = GUICtrlCreateButton("Clipboard",320,305,65,20) GUICtrlSetState($Clip, $GUI_DISABLE) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop If $msg = $Clip Then $data = _GUICtrlEdit_GetText($Output) ClipPut($data) MsgBox(0,"","Contents Stored In Clipboard",.5) EndIf If $msg = $GoBtn Then _GUICtrlEdit_SetText($Output,"") $command = GUICtrlRead($Command) ;MsgBox(0,"",$command) _getDOSOutput($command) GUICtrlSetState($Clip, $GUI_ENABLE) EndIf WEnd Func _getDOSOutput($command) Local $text = '', $Pid = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & $command, '', @SW_HIDE, 2 + 4) While 1 $text &= StdoutRead($Pid) If @error Then ExitLoop WEnd GUICtrlSetData($Output,$text) EndFunc;==>_getDOSOutput

Thank you So much Greenhorn and Aec both for your help. I tried the code you sent me Greenhorn and it fixed my issue! I had attempted to use StderrRead before in another program and just received a number code so I wasn't sure what that was, I didn't think data output would fall under that category.

I tried what you suggested and I'm still not getting any output display, could it be that it's because the data is a constant feed and it can't check a continuous feed at specified intervals?

Ok, I don't know if this type of issue can be handled by sending standard output to a variable, I am using curl, a command line ftp program to send a zipped file over a secure connection and have the output (which is a data time/sent meter) display in the GUI instead of having to display the command prompt. I've looked through the help files and many posts on the forum but I either see something that doesn't apply or i'm just not grasping the idea. When I attempt to send the standard output to the window I get nothing. Here's a portion of the code, I'm not sure if the standard output will do this since the information is a constant stream, I've even waited until the file was sent but still receive no output of any kind. Do _getDOSOutput('c:\wakeforestftp\curl\curl.exe --ftp-ssl -v -k -T c:\testdata\' & $NameAndDate & '*.zip ftp://ftpserverinfo') Until Not ProcessExists("curl.exe") Sleep(2000) Func _getDOSOutput($command) Local $text = '', $Pid = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & $command, '', @SW_HIDE, 2 + 4) While 1 $text &= StdoutRead($Pid) If @error Then ExitLoop $Arr = StringSplit($text,@LF) _ArrayDisplay($Arr) For $x = 1 To UBound($Arr) - 1 $Arr[$x] = StringTrimRight($Arr[$x],1) _GUICtrlListBox_InsertString($Dataret,$Arr[$x],-1) Next WEnd ;Return GUICtrlSetData($Output,$text) EndFunc ;==>_getDOSOutput

Have you tried controlgettext or wingettext?

I had to do something similar to this a week ago but for Outlook keys. I'm sure this code is pretty drawn out and lengthy for what it does, but I am still learning and I did get it working.
