Exporting a file from a @ComSpec command

DavidLago · April 18, 2011

Hello, people.

Yeah, I give up. I have been striving not to fall for the forum help and leave you guys out of my troubles, but since I'm a beginner, some point I'd get stuck on something, and now I am.

The thing is, I'm trying to build a script to check connections on my domain to the servers using the dos command "qwinsta".

With it's sintax:

qwinsta /server:ServerName

And it will be displayed like this:

C:\Windows\system32>qwinsta /server:NameOfTheServer

SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE

console adm-user1 0 Active wdcon

rdp-tcp 65536 Listen rdpwd

adm-user2 1 Disc rdpwd

I suppose that if I need to work woth those informations with autoit, I need to export these data to a file in temp dir or whatever.

Well, if it Type that below, it works perfectly:

C:\Windows\system32>qwinsta /server:NameOfTheServer > c:\test\logwinsta.log

But if I run the @ComSpec in autoit and run that command, it doesn't work! I tried a lot of different combinations and NADA.

So, here is my script so far:

; Script Start

$UserName   = InputBox("..::Antentication::..", "Administrator User: ", "adm-" & @UserName, "", "110", "130")
$PassWD     = InputBox("..::Antentication::..", "Password: ", "", "¤", "110", "130")
$Server     = InputBox("Servidor: ", "Servidor: ", "Server00", "", "110", "130")

; If @error = 1 Then Exit

$Qwinsta    = "qwinsta /server:" & $Server & ""
$Rwinsta    = "qwinsta /server:" & $Server & ""
$Command    = @ComSpec & " /c " & $Qwinsta
$Export     = " > c:\Scripts\logwinsta.txt"

Local $pid = RunAs($UserName, "MyDomain", $PassWD, 4, @ComSpec, @SystemDir, $Command & $Export)

Exit

You can try several ways to put that to work, and it just doesn't!

Any help?

Hi HellFrost,

did you try using StdoutRead() so you don't have to pipe the text to a file and then read it?

:unsure:

AdmiralAlkex · April 18, 2011

Hi and Welcome to the forums!

Can't you use StdoutRead()? See helpfile for details and example.

DavidLago · April 19, 2011

Thanks people!

I wasn't aware about this feature's existance!

I'm gonna try to squeeze the resources of this thingy and will post the results afterwards :unsure:

dos command "qwinsta".

_RunReadStd() is your friend.

_RunReadStd() is your friend.

I guess he is, Flyboz,

Gonna post my script here soon, still having some issues on executing an application inside my domain...

Hi and Welcome to the forums!

People, Why it ALWAYS returns me two Dialog boxes?

I mean, let me show you:

OBS: You'll need to edit some of the lines, once you're probably out of a domain or are in a different one.

#include <Constants.au3>



Global $UserName = "adm-" & @UserName
Global $PassWD = InputBox("..::Autenticação::..", "Digite a senha para: " & @CRLF & @CRLF & " ADM-" & @UserName, "", "¤", "240", "164")


Local $foo = RunAs($UserName, "DOMAIN", $PassWD, 4, @ComSpec & " /c ipconfig", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
Local $line
While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    If $line <> "" Then
        MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line)
    EndIf
WEnd

Exit

Notice that it gives me TWO dialog boxes, no matter what I do.

____________

After that, I want some other advice too.

Can I use this function to import data to a "ListView"? Separated by columns and all?

(Just trying to predict the next steps)

hannes08 · April 28, 2011

Hi HellFrost,

well your output has more than one line, right? So you could, just for an example do sth like:

Local $foo = RunAs($UserName, "DOMAIN", $PassWD, 4, @ComSpec & " /c ipconfig", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
Local $line
While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    If $line <> "" Then
        $line &= $line
    EndIf
WEnd

MsgBox(0,"STDout read:", $line)

After that you could split the string $line on the linebreak ( StringSplit($line, @CRLF) ) and import the array elements into a ListView.

Edit: By the way, it's not a good idea to call your variables 'foo' or 'bar', even if the example says so. This should be for testing reasons only. :unsure:

I worked a way around the problem...

Adding :

While 1

Sleep(3000)

$line = StdoutRead($foo)

If $line <> "" Then

MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line)

_______

Not sure this is the best way to work this out, huh?

It seems that this is a Windows 7 issue as it won't work right now on my notebook but I'm quite certain it works under XP.

Oh well, it gives me something else to do while Mrs 4Eyes hogs the big TV watching 'the wedding'. Sigh.

Oh, hey again!

and yeah, I always change the names, they're actually changed, I just post them here with different variables names to make it easier for you to help me, thanks for the advice though.

Now that I use the funcion Stdoutread, I managed to display what I want to be displayed in a dialogbox, and even exported a log for testing purposes. What I want now is to import them into a listview inside a Guiwindow.

When exported, the log comes out like this: (as well as the stdoutread when displayed in a dialogbox)

SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE DEVICE

console adm-ricardoac 0 Active wdcon

rdp-tcp 65536 Listen rdpwd

adm-ademarz 2 Disc rdpwd

I want to have them enter automatically.

I'm gonna try to reproduce my environment below for you to understand: (I'm sorry I can't polish enough to make it smaller, this is only one screen which can be called from the main Screen).

#include <Constants.au3>

                Exit



        EndSelect
    WEnd

EndFunc   ;==>INTERFACEWINSTA

So, I got no idea how to do that.

Actually I got one:

Maybe trying to stringsplit them into arrays and defining each splitted array to a variable and throwing them into listviewitem?

Maybe you guys could give me an example if this thought is right?

Thanks a million!

Hi HellFrost,

see this small example:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$txt = "SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE DEVICE " & @CRLF & "console adm-ricardoac 0 Active wdcon " & @CRLF & "rdp-tcp 65536 Listen rdpwd " & @CRLF & "adm-ademarz 2 Disc rdpwd "

$a_temp = StringSplit($txt, @CRLF)

$hGUI = GUICreate("Form1", 420, 220, -1, -1)

$listview = GUICtrlCreateListView(StringReplace($a_temp[1]," ", "|"),10,10, 400, 200)
For $i = 2 To $a_temp[0]
    $a_temp[$i] = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem(StringReplace($a_temp[$i]," ", "|"), $istview)
Next

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

... no errorchecking has been done here ...

Thanks a lot, man!

I'm going to study that example and work over it now! You're going to heaven!
