How can a compiled script (exe) send its output to the user?

[Jolly24]

Hi,

I like the feature that I can compile the AutoIT script to an exe file. But my script running in endless loops and sometimes I'm not sure, if it hangs or not. That's why I want my compiled script to send it's output to the windows commandline window (where I start the script from) instead not to NULL. Or maybe there is a other way to see the output of the exe version of my script.

Currently I only get my ConsoleWrite output to the output window when I run the script out of AutoIT.

But what I don't want, is a logfile. I want a continious output.

Regards

Compile your script using option "Create CUI instead of GUI EXE"

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y

Make sure you have the SciTE4AutoIt3 installer also loaded for that to work.

Thanks. This is what I need.

But I saw, that when I compile it to an CLI exe, the hotkey (to quit the script) I added to my script doesn't work any more. OK - I can close the window. But it would be nice if the hotkey also works.

HotKey is working here using CUI.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
HotKeySet("+!d", "_Exit")  ;Shift-Alt-d
ConsoleWrite("I'm executing...")
Sleep(6000)
ConsoleWrite("still alive...")
Sleep(6000)
ConsoleWrite("finished.")
Exit
Func _Exit()
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Exiting using hotkey")
    Exit
EndFunc
