hello,

im using this code

$read=FileRead("C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\log\tes.log")
GUICtrlSetData($mylist,$read)

and my edit box show the log, but not directly..

i must close the software, and reopen it to see if the log change

How to make edit box write the log directly (live)?

What you do is like opening the log file in notepad. You won't see lines added after you opened the file.

Does your script start the program that writes to the log file? If yes, is there a way to redirect the log entries to StdOut and read them by your AutoIt script?

If yes, is there a way to redirect the log entries to StdOut and read them by your AutoIt script?

Yes, this is what i mean,

so, i need to find the way to redirect it to my script?

ok, i will search for it and try

Here is an example how to do it by running command "Ping". Ping is repeated 20 times when you click on "Start". When you click on "Stop" the output is no longer displayed but the process still runs in the background till it ends.

Hello, i have develop a little of your script, like this

While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
Case $Start
If $bRunning = False Then
$Pid = Run(@comspec & ' /c plink -ssh MYSERVER HERE -v -D 1080 ','',@SW_HIDE,7) ;i put -v because it will show verbose,
$username = InputBox("username","Enter username")
$password = InputBox("password","Enter password",'','*')

GUICtrlSetData($Output, "") ; Clear Output
$bRunning = True
While ProcessExists($Pid)
If $bRunning = False Then ExitLoop
$Line = StdoutRead($Pid)
If StringstripWS($Line, 3) <> "" Then GUICtrlSetData($Output, $Line, 1)
Sleep(10)
Wend
$bRunning = False
EndIf
Case $Exit
Exit
EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _CheckStop()
If GUIGetMsg() = $Stop Then $bRunning = False
EndFunc

but it show nothing on my edit box, please teach me the right script to show the verbose on edit box

Thank you before

You can provide userid and passwort by using the "-l user" and "-pw passw" parameters.

Add input fields for the userid/password to your GUI or add the InputBox commands before you run Plink.

How to remove this problem ? Edited May 5, 2013 by jezzjj

[water 2,359]

Hello,

im fixing that problem with give this

$STDIN_CHILD + $STDERR_MERGED

but when i successfully log in, the text on editbox blinking and can't scrolling down..

How to stop this blinking, so its can show the forwaded connection

[water 2,359]

Remove this line

GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

and give it a try.

It disables the Edit control but might inhibit scrolling.

Or set the edit control to Autoscrolling:

$Output = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 96, 8, 513, 417, BitOr($ES_AUTOVSCROLL, $WS_VSCROLL))

i have try your script, but its, still auto scroll to top and blinking

Please compare my code with your latest version. For every new line you get from Plink you rewrite the complete output to the edit control. I just add the new line to the already existing text in the control.
