StdoutRead convert output to list

[Naveed]

Hi Peeps,

First of all here is what i am currently trying to do. I am using the dsget command to get information from the active directory for a security group or computer.

However the information returned from stdoutread is a long list and i dont know how to take this list and display in a gui window list?

I suppose i could try and include a loop system which uses the string commands but that would be very longwinded, which is why i need some help with this.

Here is the code i am using.

#include <Constants.au3>

$securitygroup = "SecurityGroup"

Local $foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "dsget group " & '"cn=' & $securitygroup & ',ou=global groups,dc=test,dc=com,"' & " -members -expand", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

Local $line
Sleep(2000)

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

And here is what the output looks like (see output.bmp)

Any ideas?

That's the awkward hard way to do it. Why not just use the COM interface to ADSI? There is a whole AD UDF (more than one actually) based on that. You can simply get the data without trying to tease it out of STDOUT.
