Zohar Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) Hello I need to call a small .NET program via an AutoIt program, and I need to send the .NET Program several strings, and get 1 string back from it. What are my recommended options for this? the return value is a string, and I need to return it when the .NET program ends. If it was an int, I could use the program's ReturnValue(ExitCode, or ERROR code as it is called in Batch files), but since I need to return a String here, then the ExitCode will not be good here, so I need another simple and clean idea. Thank you Edited January 9, 2010 by Zohar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juvigy Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 You can use local file to store and read the data you need. For example an INI file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvanegmond Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 You can start the .NET program with command line arguments, then capture the console output of the .NET program in AutoIt. github.com/jvanegmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrumbaug Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I have not tried this but...... run a SET DOS comand and make an invironment variable with the string's value. Then have Autoit read the variable. I've been thinking out of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Robertson Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Manadar's suggestion is better. The console is super easy to use in .Net. System.Console.Write("Hello AutoIt"); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zohar Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Manadar and Richard: Works great. Thank you. Here's what I used: Local $StdOut Do Sleep(100) $StdOut =StdoutRead($PID) Until $StdOut<>"" Msg($StdOut) jrumbaug: I have not tried this but...... run a SET DOS comand and make an invironment variable with the string's value. Then have Autoit read the variable.definately creative.. Edited January 7, 2010 by Zohar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
