Returning DoS Outputs

[Guest CoryM]

I have been searching the forums to see if there is any method to return outputs form a DOS window into Autoit. It seems there is a lot of formus on STDOUTREAD which does not exist natively with AutoIt, nor is there any links to a places to get the function.

Basicly, with out having to resort to Piping out to a file and then reading in a file, is there a way to return the output from a DOS command.

It exists in the BETA version of AutoIt3.....

There is a tool written by Larry (for download) which allows you to capture the output of a line command to the clipboard .. but this was long ago, and I can't remember much more.

Oh yes - at the time, we also discussed a third party tool called cb.exe, which does very similar magic.

Hope this helps
