Reading from cmd

[Rogue5099]

cmd line I want to run is: "wmic bios get serialnumber"

I want to be able to get this info to a variable. I tried the following:

$console = Run(@ComSpec & " /c wmic bios get serialnumber", '', @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

MsgBox(0, "???", StdoutRead($console))

I at least am able to see the serial number in the following but can't do nothing with it and it is too window contolling, trying to aviod Send()...

Run("cmd.exe")

Sleep(1000)

Send("wmic bios get serialnumber{ENTER}")

Ok i got this far:

Local $console = Run(@ComSpec & " /c wmic bios get serialnumber", @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
Local $iError, $line, $Result = ""
While 1
    $line = StdOutRead($console)
    $iError = @error
    
    If $iError Then ExitLoop
        
    $Result = $line

    Sleep(10)
Wend
MsgBox(0, "???", $Result)

Now just need to isolate s/n....

Fixed!!!! Problem Solved, just had to work through it bymyself... If anyone knows a better way please post!

Local $console = Run(@ComSpec & " /c wmic bios get serialnumber", @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
Local $line, $Result = ""
While 1
    Sleep(100)
    $line = StdOutRead($console)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    $Result = $line
Wend
$Result = StringTrimLeft($Result, 17)
MsgBox(0, "???", $Result)
