Return a string on Exit

[bchan]

Hi,

I'm currently using AutoIt with C# and I'm trying to get AutoIt to return a string (variable) on exit but I couldn't find anything online. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Bchan

;ClipPut --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

;Writes text to the clipboard.

ClipPut( "value" )

;Parameters - "value" The text to write to the clipboard.

This solves?

As far as I know exitcodes always have to be an integer. In theory you'd be able to encode any message to an integer, but I fear there is a size limitation to it.

Exit codes are integers. This can't be changed.

Instead consider writing to the console.

You can write strings to the registry or to files just before exit.

[Richard Robertson]

Writing to a non-volatile resource like that is slow and sometimes prone to caching error between programs.

Hi everyone,

thanks for the suggestions!!

@jscript - I don't think copying to the clipboard would help because it would confuse things in my current code since I'm running a lot of this in parallel.

@Richard - I'll try out writing to console although I'm not quite sure how to approach this yet.

Hi everyone!

I think I'm going to stick with an alternative solution - using AutoItX3!

thanks,
