Display Results of a Command

[TomTcom]

When you pull up the cmd prompt and ping a computer you see the results. I can't figure out the proper way to go about this to see the results in a window for AutoIT such as the ttl and millisecond time as it's happening.

I have used some of the sample snippets on the site but I guess I would ultimately try to create my own network tool that has functions I want specifically and can return the results on screen.

Should I be looking into the gui functions or is there a more simple "results" or "output" window from an inputbox?

I hope I asked that correctly, given my noob status to scripting I'm not sure if I'm asking correctly.

I'm only aware of outputing results to a file:

run ( @ComSpec & " /c ping google.com > C:testtesting.txt 2>&1" )

then you can read from the file:

Have a look at the opt_flags of function "Run". You can attach to StdOut and StdErr and access the output from AutoIt. Examples are in the help file.

I see what you are saying. Thanks for the response. It makes me wonder then if the gui functions would be better for my goal.

A GUI definitely makes it easier for you to present the output in a way that is easier for the user to read.

Thanks, I came across those so I'll dig deeper on them.
