Another STDOUT_CHILD question (sorry)

[gfunk999]

Hi all, hope all is well,

After two days of searching and looking through very good examples (i.e. from embedding the cmd.exe to a gui, to outputting to a > txt file and then reading back to a variable, etc...) I give up. I cannot understand why chkdsk.exe won't output? If I replace it with a dir or ping everything works perfect.

#include <Constants.au3>

Local $foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c chkdsk.exe", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
Local $line
While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line)
Wend

While 1
    $line = StderrRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "STDERR read:", $line)
Wend

MsgBox(0, "Debug", "Exiting...")

You may want to try this out. It worked for me.
