Capturing Console Output (RTConsole.exe)

Recommended Posts

I had had relative success in using RTConsole.exe to capture console output of various applications. I typically then take that output and port it over to a branded progress bar. However, I have noticed that RTConsole.exe is not flawless and crashes roughly 30-35% of the time. Overall point of this post is to see if anyone has any other suggestions to replace RTConsole.exe so I can kick RTConsole.exe to the curb

I have included a snippet of my code you all can see how I call it and perhaps provide some suggestions...

FileInstall("ImageX.exe", @TempDir & "\ImageX.exe")
FileInstall("RTConsole.exe", @TempDir & "\RTConsole.exe")

Func _ImageDevice($iDriveLetter)
Local $iCommand = @TempDir & "\ImageX.exe /apply " & @ScriptDir & "\MyImage.wim 1 " & $iDriveLetter & ":"
Local $iExecute = Run(@TempDir & "\RTConsole.exe " & $iCommand, @TempDir, @SW_HIDE, 6)
While 1
  $line = StdoutRead($iExecute)
  If StringInStr($line, 'ImageX Tool for Windows') <> 0 Then $line = "Loading Imaging Service"
  If StringInStr($line, 'Progress: 100%') <> 0 Then ExitLoop
  If StringInStr($line, 'Error') <> 0 Then ExitLoop
  If StringInStr($line, 'Successfully applied image.') <> 0 Then ExitLoop
  $line = StringStripWS($line, 7)
  $line3 = StringSplit($line, @CRLF)
  $line1 = StringSplit($line, '%')
  If StringRight($line1[1], 3) = 100 Then
   $line = 99
   $line3[1] = "Finalizing Image Application"
  Else
   $line = StringRight($line1[1], 2)
  EndIf
  If @error Then ExitLoop
  If $line <> "" Then
   ProgressSet($line, $line3[1])
  EndIf
WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>_ImageDevice

I'm curious as to why you're using RTConsole when you're using the STDOUT channel to read from it, rather than just reading from the target program directly?

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

ImageX.exe does a constant rewrite to STDOUT... was hoping to get a progressional progress output to pipe to a ProgressSet()

EDIT:

Now that I come back and re-read my post I realize I did not make a lot of sense. I followed that path as it was suggested

I'm trying to do the same thing as you, but with rar.exe, you find the way to do it?

Heroes, there is no such thing

One day I'll discover what IE.au3 has of special for so many users using it.
C'mon there's InetRead and WinHTTP, way better
