Reading a string from DOS application

Look in the help file for Run, StdoutRead, If...Else...EndIf and Operators. Then you should be good to go.

An example of StdoutRead from V3.3.9.5 alpha.

#include <Array.au3> ; Required for _ArrayDisplay only.
#include <Constants.au3>

; Recursively display a list of files in a directory.
Example()

Func Example()
    Local $sFilePath = @ScriptDir ; Search the current script directory.
    Local $sFilter = "*.*" ; Search for all files in the current directory. For a list of valid wildcards, search for 'Wildcards' in the Help file.

    ; If the file path isn't a directory then return from the 'Example' function.
    If Not StringInStr(FileGetAttrib($sFilePath), "D") Then
        Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    EndIf

    ; Remove trailing backslashes and append a single trailing backslash.
    $sFilePath = StringRegExpReplace($sFilePath, "[/]+z", "") & ""

    #cs
        Commandline parameters for DIR:
        /B - Simple output.
        /A-D - Search for all files, minus folders.
        /S - Search within subfolders.
    #ce
    Local $iPID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /C DIR "' & $sFilePath & $sFilter & '" /B /A-D /S', $sFilePath, @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
    ; If you want to search with files that contains unicode characters, then use the /U commandline parameter.

    ; Wait until the process has closed using the PID returned by Run.
    ProcessWaitClose($iPID)

    ; Read the Stdout stream of the PID returned by Run. This can also be done in a while loop. Look at the example for StderrRead.
    Local $sOutput = StdoutRead($iPID)

    ; Use StringSplit to split the output of StdoutRead to an array. All carriage returns (@CR) are stripped and @LF (line feed) is used as the delimiter.
    Local $aArray = StringSplit(StringTrimRight(StringStripCR($sOutput), StringLen(@LF)), @LF)
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(4096, "", "It appears there was an error trying to find all the files in the current script directory.")
    Else
        ; Display the results.
        _ArrayDisplay($aArray)
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Thanks Dear, but i am unable to lanuch the application.

Here is my code

$sOutput = ""

Global $CONSOLE_TITLE = "C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe"

Sleep(1000);wait 39 whole seconds to give time for machine to think ...

$hRun = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c DIR ' & $CONSOLE_TITLE, "", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)

while 1

$sOutput=StdoutRead($hRun)

If @error = -1 then ExitLoop

Sleep(50)

WEnd

; Display results

MsgBox(64, "Results", $sOutput)

The autoit says

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\Users\smaniyar\Desktop\ZAMI.au3"

The system cannot find the path specified.

Please help me

What are you trying to do? I mean what are you intentions for reading the StdOut stream of DOSBox?

Dear,

I have DOS application called CMRI.exe (DOS Applciation) i am running this CMRI on Windows 7 using DOSBOX.

To auomate the DOS application which takes user inputs based on the strings displayed on the Application.

To have this , am using AutoIT tool.

here is my code. But now i would like to read the string and based on the string i need to send different key stroke.

; Script Start - Add your code below here

#include <Constants.au3>

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

MsgBox(0, "Tutorial", "Hello World!")

$sOutput = ""

;Local $CONSOLE_TITLE = "C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe' -noconsole -userconf"

Global $CONSOLE_TITLE = "C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe"

Sleep(1000);wait 1 whole seconds to give time for machine to think ...

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe -noconsole -userconf")

$counter = "1"

while 1

Local $search = FileFindFirstFile("C:\Project\msedcl\CMRI\zami\*.zam")

; Check if the search was successfulcmri.bat

If $search <> -1 Then

FileDelete("C:\Project\msedcl\CMRI\zami\*.zam")

EndIf

; Close the search handle

FileClose($search)

Sleep(2000)

Send("cmri.bat {ENTER}")

Sleep(25000)

Send("0")

Sleep(20000)

Send("A")

Sleep(35000)

Sleep(2000)

Send("Q")

Sleep(2000)

$counter += 1

WEnd

Func Terminate()

Exit

EndFunc

The example I gave you was just an example, please read the comments that were in the example and use the help file to accompany you. In post #3 remove DIR as this is to use the DIR command in Windows.
