Return value to Dos command

[feldmaneyal 0]

I need to get the process ID and pass it to another application

I was able to put the PID in a msgbox - but I need it in a command line

means that I would like to Run AI and get 0 if the process not exist or the PID if exist

$PID = ProcessExists("notepad.exe")

return ($PID)

In the dos level - get nothing.

Please advise,

Thx in advance.,

Hi, it doesnt work any other idea?

$PID = ProcessExists("notepad.exe")

exit($PID)

I run like c:\\pid.au3 or pid.exe

Get nothing on the dos prompt

thx

you won't get anything on the dos prompt, you have to catch the errorlevel from dos if i remember correctly.

Any idea how to catch it? thx

read up on errorlevel in windows help if you plan to catch it by batch file

or read up on EnvGet in AutoIt help
