StdOutRead not returning anything

So i'm a bit confused.

I've been reading various posts (from various years), and come up with the below script for cloning a git repo to which I have an RSA key setup...

#include <Constants.au3>
$pid = Run('git clone ssh://GITCONNECTIONINFO/' & $CmdLine[1] & ' C:\APLACETOPUTTHINGS\'& $CmdLine[1] & ' ', @ScriptDir, @SW_SHOW, $STDIN_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
Local $data
while ProcessExists($pid)
   Do
      Sleep(10)
      $data &= StdOutRead($pid)
   Until @extended or @error
   if StringInStr($data, "Enter passphrase for key") Then
      MsgBox(0,"Debug","Moo")
      StdInWrite($pid, "APASSWORD")
      $data = ""
   EndIf
   MsgBox(0,"Debug",@extended & " " & @error)
WEnd

Testing the script by pushing a Not in front of the @extended shows that i'm constantly getting back 0's in @extended.

Am i missing something obvious?

Don't use @extended to exit the Do loop, just use @error and check to see that @error isn't set to 0. Your MsgBox will always show @error and @extended set to 0 because you're checking it after the If comparison and I'm pretty sure that never returns an error condition.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Then don't use @error either, check the string returned in $data for the words that are the password prompt. Either way, your original script will never do what you want it to do, so you're going to have to start debugging what is returned by the program to the script. I don't have the program you're using so I have no idea what you're seeing in the console.

StdOutRead will return a LOT of blank lines if checked in a loop until the actual text shows up, it's just how things work.

#include <Constants.au3>
$pid = Run('git clone ssh://stuff/' & $CmdLine[1] & ' C:\place\'& $CmdLine[1] & ' ', @ScriptDir, @SW_SHOW, $STDIN_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
Local $data
while ProcessExists($pid)
      Sleep(10)
      $data &= StdOutRead($pid)
   if StringInStr($data, "Enter passphrase for key") Then
      MsgBox(0,"Debug","Moo")
      StdInWrite($pid, "morestuff")
      $data = ""
   EndIf
WEnd
MsgBox(0,"Debug",$data)

(this time without putting my password in the c&p...  :sweating: )

When run, this script hangs at the prompt, and when the window is closed (manually, because the prompt will wait forever), returns a msgbox with nothing in it. So... $data's getting nothing.
