getting value from run(...) command

[amakrkr]

Hello,

could someone help me with my problem. What i am trying to do is check for an active connection to the server and here is the problem.

How do i get a string or IP or anything back from CMD.

So far i made this:

Func ip_check()

$IP = '192.168.1.1'

$foo = 0;

$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " &'netstat -na | find "' & $IP & '"', '', @SW_HIDE,$STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

$line = StderrRead($foo)

MsgBox(4096,"", "Connection is alive" , $line)


EndFunc

But i do not get anything. It would be enough if i would get $line = 0 if connection is dead and $line != 0 if alive.

Please post if you have a solution!

Thank you!

Can you check that the process was successfully started? Means that $foo is not zero. It should be set to the ProcessId.

yea process is started. problem is that i am always getting something in value $foo. How can i get process name from proces id ... if process id is the number i am getting from that run command.

Ps $line allways returns NULL value. What does that mean?

amakrkr,

Read ouput in a loop like this

; *** Start added by AutoIt3Wrapper ***
#include <Constants.au3>
; *** End added by AutoIt3Wrapper ***
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Add_Constants=n
ip_check()
Func ip_check()
$IP = '192.168.1.1'
$foo = 0;
$foo = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c netstat -na', '', @SW_HIDE,$STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
while 1
 $line = StdoutRead($foo)
 if @error then exitloop
 if stringlen($line) > 0 then consolewrite('+>> ' & $line & @lf)
wend
EndFunc

Try this:

Func ip_check()
    $IP = '192.168.1.1'
    $line = ""
    $foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " &'netstat -na | find "' & $IP & '"', '', @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
    While ProcessExists($foo)
        $line &= StdOutRead($foo)
    WEnd
    MsgBox(4096,"", "Connection is alive" , $line)
EndFunc

Thank you!

amakrkr,

the problem with your script was, that you were using StderrRead where you should have used StdOutRead.

amakrkr,

And that you were not reading all of the output
