Need help with capturing console-app output

[Good4U]

Hello,

I've task as followed:

1. Console application (SomeApplication.exe) which runs file-comparer (fc.exe).

2. My AutoIt script have to get output of file-comparer and do some things in accordance to file-comparer output.

Problem:

when I run SomeApplication.exe from script as:

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CmdLine[1], "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

I successfully get all output from SomeApplication.exe by StdoutRead but nothing from file-comparer

And on the other hand when I use $STDIO_INHERIT_PARENT flag as

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CmdLine[1], "", @SW_SHOW, $STDIO_INHERIT_PARENT)

- I see all output in console (application and file-comparer) but can't access it neither by StdoutRead nor ConsoleRead (@error <> 0).

Could anyone please help me, if can ?

PS. Script compiled as Console. AutoIt ver:autoit-v3.3.6.1-sfx.exe

I've found solution which works for me:

I used flags: $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD + $RUN_CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE

in this case StdoutRead captures all data (SomeApplication.exe and fc.exe)

but still don't understand why it not works without separate console.
