Sending Text To Cmd In The Background?

[bradvexille]

Run(@comspec & " /c " & $D2Path, "", @SW_HIDE)

that works, for running a shortcut, and i was hoping to use the same method to open the CMD window, send text to it, and close it..

what needs to be sent is:

netstat -n | find "4000" > CurrentServer.txt

it will let the script know what IPs it is connected to on port 4000, if any..

it works just fine manually, if i run cmd, type it in, hit enter, and close cmd.. but being able to just use the command, especially while cmd is completely hidden would really make this script far more efficient..

unfortunately, i have been unable to just plug that in instead of the /c etc..

any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated

thanks,

brad

Wrap it in a user-defined function:

_RunCmd('netstat -n | find "4000" > CurrentServer.txt')

Func _RunCmd( $command )
   Return RunWait( @ComSpec & " /C " & $command, "", @SW_HIDE )
EndFunc

If it's a record, it's probably for being slow...

why not try:

Run(@comspec & ' /c netstat -n > c:\CurrentServer2.txt', ""); this works fine for me

this is about what you said

Run(@comspec & ' /c netstat -n | find "4000' > CurrentServer.txt", "", @SW_HIDE);

I think it might be this though

Run(@comspec & ' /c netstat -n 4000 > CurrentServer.txt', "", @SW_HIDE);

The file didn't write on the ones where I called out an interval, just like when it was in the command line.

edit...Dang I guess I write slow...
