Need help with Windows cmd

[Buba235]

Hi folks!

I have some problems with reading from console window under Windows. First of all I will show you my problem. I will start an application that uses the Windows console and do some work with this application. Now it could happen that there are some errors thrown of the application. This errors would not cause the application to terminate, but the error will be written to the console. And that is my problem. How can I read this error strings and write them into a file?

My code:

; includes
#include <file.au3>
#include <Date.au3>


; Set path of the binaries
$SDK_Binary_Path = _PathFull(@ScriptDir & "..\..\sdk\bin")
; Set the path to the logfile
$Startup_log_Path = _PathFull(@ScriptDir & "..\..\result")

; Open a new file to save the results of this test
$error_log = FileOpen($Startup_log_Path & "\startup_zip_result.log", 1)
If $error_log = -1 Then
    Exit (1)
EndIf
FileWrite($error_log, "#################### Begin of startup test ####################" & @CRLF)

; call the example server and check if the server started up
$PID_exampleServer = Run($SDK_Binary_Path & "\example_server.exe")
If $PID_exampleServer = 0 Then
    FileWrite($error_log, "" & _NowDate() & "-" & _NowTime() & "##### ERROR - Failed to startup the example server !!!" & @CRLF)
    Exit (2)
Else
    ; Just wait some time to give the server the chance to start up correctly
    Sleep(2000)
    FileWrite($error_log, "" & _NowDate() & "-" & _NowTime() & " SUCCESS - Startup of example server was successful " & @CRLF)
EndIf

This code will start a new console and will output some text. This text I will write into a file. Is it possible to do this? Please could you help me?

Thanks for every help
