Dos box errors

[rhiridflaidd]

I'm using an autoit frontend to launch some perl scripts.

All well and good, unless a datapoint is wrong, and confuses my poor perl script and throws an error.

run ('perl perlscript.pl dataile.txt',@ScriptDir,@SW_MAXIMIZE )

Is the command I'm running.

How do I capture any error text, without catching the full stream of data that runs in the dos boxes as pretty little graphics to show progress.

The scripts can take 10 mins plus.

Ideally I'd like the dos box not to close until there is user input.

But this can't be scripted in the perl, since the error will just call an end to the script.

Try this

i don't know if it work with perl

#include <Constants.au3>

$_Pid = Run (' perl perlscript.pl dataile.txt', '', @SW_MAXIMIZE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD )
Dim $_StderrRead='', $_StdoutRead=''

While ProcessExists ( $_Pid )
    $_StderrRead = StderrRead ( $_Pid )
    If Not @error And $_StderrRead <> '' Then 
        ConsoleWrite ( "STDERR read : " & $_StderrRead & @Crlf )    
    EndIf
    $_StdoutRead = StdoutRead ( $_Pid )
    If Not @error And $_StdoutRead <> '' Then 
        ConsoleWrite ( "STDOUT read : " & $_StdoutRead & @Crlf )    
    EndIf   
    Sleep ( 1 )
Wend
