intercept ConsoleWrite from running script outside Scite

[frank10]

If I run my script from Scite I can see all the ConsoleWrite executed by the script.

I want to see the Consoleout of a running script , started outside Scite ( even using another Consoleout program if needed).

Is this possible?

PS:

I tried with DebugView with no luck.

ConsoleRead()?

StdoutRead()?

Or are you trying to "hijack" another apps output?

I have an autoit3.exe process running with some consolewrite() in it.

Then I launch from Scite this script:

Local $aProcessList = ProcessList("AutoIt3.exe")
Local $iPID = $aProcessList[1][1] 
Local $sOutput =''

while 1
    $sOutput = StdoutRead($iPID)
    if $sOutput <> '' Then ConsoleWrite( $sOutput  & @CRLF)
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

But I don't get any Consolewrite from that autoit's PID.

How are you certain that that PID is not the current PID of the new script?

[frank10]

Good question.

But I checked with arraydisplay and msgbox.

The PID that remains unchanged is the one I want to get the Consolewrite: so, yes I checked it and it's correct, the first PID of the $aProcessList.

Off the top of my head, I think the target process has to be a child of the reading process, and started with STDCHILD flag.

[frank10]

mmm, yes, I think that's the problem.

But I don't want to link the two scripts, I wolud like to see the consoleout of a general script without to restart it into Scite, (even using an external prog to monitor)...

Well you're staring down the barrel of code injection, and since the target process is undoubtedly AutoIt, I'd tread very carefully from this point on.
