Stdout to ctrledit immediately

[ajenkins]

I have stdout sent to my edit box, but it shows up after the process is finished. Is there a way to show it during the process? Basically I want a window on my gui showing exactly what the console would if it was running normal. Is there any way to make a running console readout box?

$somefolder = FileSelectFolder("Select Encode Folder", "")

$Afiles = _FileListToArray($somefolder)


for $i = 1 to $Afiles[0]
    $file = $Afiles[$i]
    $CMD = '"' & $ffmpeg & '" -i "' & $file & '" "' & stringtrimright($file , 4) & '_output.mp4"'
Global $stream
$pid = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & $CMD & '"', $somefolder, @SW_SHOW, 0x8)
Do
    Sleep(10)
    $stream &= StdoutRead($pid)
Until @error
GUICtrlSetData($Log, $stream)

GUICtrlSetData($Progress1, ($i/$Afiles[0]) * 100)
Next

I have it working some, but when there is a error with one file then the output to my edit box stops scrolling for the rest of the files. can anyone help?

$somefolder = FileSelectFolder("Select Encode Folder", "")
$Afiles = _FileListToArray($somefolder)

for $i = 1 to $Afiles[0]
    $file = $Afiles[$i]
    $CMD = '"' & $ffmpeg & '" -i "' & $file & '" "' & stringtrimright($file , 4) & '_output.mp4"'
Global $stream
$pid = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & $CMD & '"', $somefolder, @SW_SHOW, 0x8)
GUICtrlSetData($Log, "")

Do
    Sleep(500)
    $stream &= StdoutRead($pid)
    GUICtrlSetData($Log, $stream)
    _GUICtrlEdit_SetLimitText($Log, 200)
    _GUICtrlEdit_Scroll($Log, $SB_SCROLLCARET)
Until @error Or Not ProcessExists($pid)

GUICtrlSetData($Progress1, ($i/$Afiles[0]) * 100)
Next

What types of errors are halting the script?

Also, what @error condition are you checking for in the Do loop? Because the only error that will find is in the _GUICtrlEdit_Scroll function, and I don't believe that function sets @error.

What is the purpose of the _GUICtrlEdit_SetLimitText in your loop, I don't believe it is necessary.

thanks for the help, i set the limit of the edit box, because it seemed to be holding the entire console read, and each file wil run for 14+hours. But if its not needed i will be happy to remove it. From your @error question it seems i don't get the cunstruction of the loop. From the code in the first post i found that simply moving the guictrlsetdata($log,$stream) into the loop made the stdout functio immediately. But i wanted it to scroll like the console does, so i added the editscroll code. It didn't work.with the code anywhere else, can you show me the mistakes so i don't repeat them in the future?

This is what I have now, it works. Is there any more mistakes I made?

Func a()

$somefolder = FileSelectFolder("Select Encode Folder", "")
$Afiles = _FileListToArray($somefolder)

for $i = 1 to $Afiles[0]
    $file = $Afiles[$i]
    $pid = Run($ffmpeg & ' -i "' & $file & '" "' & stringtrimright($file , 4) & '_output.mp4"', $somefolder, @SW_SHOW, 0x8)
    $stream = ""
While 1
    Sleep(500)
    $stream &= StdoutRead($pid)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    GUICtrlSetData($Log,$stream)
    _GUICtrlEdit_Scroll($Log, $SB_SCROLLCARET)
WEnd

GUICtrlSetData($Progress1, ($i/$Afiles[0]) * 100)
Next
EndFunc
