NoobieAutoitUser 0 Posted May 24, 2011 I hope I am posting in the right forum.After a lot of time, and effort, I have discovered how to do event logs with autoit. BTW: Autoit is an excellent tool.As the title says no DLL. I did a lot of searching on the forums, and never really found a way. The ones I found would not do "line breaks" correctly. I saw quite a few involving a DLL, but I have no clue how to do that!This works on Windows 7 natively, but earlier versions may need to download the "resource kit".I have created a script that reads the output (a text file) of a command line virus scanner (a2cmd if you were curious). This way I can right click a folder, and and scan that folder.I created a "custom" log in "event viewer". Using this utility: Event Log Creation Utility.This way I have a snazzy way of keeping track of virus scans. When I do get one, I open "event viewer". Grab the name of it, and then Google it.This is the "command line" that starts it going.a2cmd.exe /f="%1" /r /n /l=d:\\a2cmd\\a2cmd.log & d:\\a2cmd\\testing.au3 & pause"This is the script that does the writing to "event viewer".#include <Array.au3> $text = FileRead("D:\A2cmd\a2cmd.log") Run("eventcreate /T Information /ID 100 /L Virus-Log /SO Anti-Virus /D " & CHR(34) & $text & CHR(34), "", @SW_HIDE, 2)This the reg file that gives you the right click option.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\a2cmd] @="Emsisoft Commandline Scanner" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\a2cmd\command] @="cmd /c D:\\A2cmd\\a2cmd.exe /f=\"%1\" /r /n /l=d:\\a2cmd\\a2cmd.log & d:\\a2cmd\\testing.au3 & pause"The output looks like this. How it looks here, is how it look in "event viewer".Emsisoft Commandline Scanner v. 5.1.0.2 (C) 2003-2010 Emsi Software GmbH - www.emsisoft.com Emsisoft Commandline Scanner - Version 5.1 Last update: 4/18/2011 6:11:04 PM Scan settings: Objects: D:\TEMP Scan archives: Off Heuristics: Off ADS Scan: On Scan start: 5/24/2011 7:34:17 PM D:\TEMP\file.txt Scanned Files: 1 Traces: 0 Cookies: 0 Processes: 0 Found Files: 0 Traces: 0 Cookies: 0 Processes: 0 Scan end: 5/24/2011 7:34:26 PMI hope all this makes sense. I will try to answer any questions about this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
