How to return not only %errorlevel% to batch

[zpslon]

Need to return two variables from autoit script to batch file, but I found only how to return errorlevel with Exit($var). And errorlevel is only numeric , I have symbols in variables.

Is any method except Exit?

Did you try EnvSet() to pass values to external variables in the shell environment? You could also pass data through a small text file, or via the registry.

Use consolewrite() and compile as CUI?

EnvSet()works only for programs launched from script

Through registry or file, don want to save variables as plain text anywhere, login and password ))))

ConsoleWrite("test" & @crlf)
sleep(2000)
ConsoleWrite("test2" & @crlf)

Compile as CUI instead of GUI and run from cmd.exe... can't see why that info should not be available to the executing batch file.

I think you misread the initial message.

Not really , but... I'm not that into batch file programming... and always assumed that console output can easily be redirected to a variable for further use... might be wrong there ...

Changes to the shell environment of the calling batch file are lost when that shell closes. Tell me what you think is more secure about a return value than a local shell variable...?

You want to know how to securely pass credentials to a batch file: Don't!

Edit: The script inherits only a copy of the parent batch file's environment, so that was true but not helpful since the parent shell never sees the changes. Rats.

Burp. I guess there is.

When I try to write to console like this, in batch I get not real login and password, but names of variables,

ConsoleWrite('$login $passwd' & @CRLF)

In batch output

D:\!!!!!!\Steam\Test>echo.var1=$login

var1=$login

D:\!!!!!!\Steam\Test>echo.var2=$passwd

var2=$passwd

If I try like this ConsoleWrite($login & @CRLF)

In batch output

D:\!!!!!!\Steam\Test>echo.var1=$login

var1=username

D:\!!!!!!\Steam\Test>echo.var2=$passwd

var2=

But it works only for one variable

How to make It work for two variables?

[KaFu]

Try

ConsoleWrite($login & " " & $passwd & @CRLF)

[zpslon]

It works!

Thank you!

Glad to hear that ...
