Strange behavior when running script from command line

[ndinev]

Hi all,

I found two problems when I am trying to run scripts from command line

Here is the script 123.au3:

For $i=1 To 10
   Sleep(1000)
   ConsoleWrite($i & @CRLF)
Next

here is how I start it

AutoIt3.exe /AutoIt3ExecuteScript 123.au3

Problem1: I am not getting any console print as a expected - 1,2,3... etc

Problem2: Seems the script is executed as separated process and console is free immediately

When script is compiled with /console to an exe it works fine. But I want my scripts not to be compiled.

How can I solve those problems?

Is it possible to run script in console way?

Thanks

This is because AutoIt3.exe is not compiled a console application.

Try using another compiled script as the launcher of your script.

Ensure it is compiled as console and contains this directive:

#pragma compile(AutoItExecuteAllowed, true)

AutoIt3.exe "path123.au3"   doesn't work ?

It doesn't work as console application - it detaches from console(it is asynchronous ) and there is no output.

Thanks! I am not sure how this will work ... since autoit doesn't provide output I may not be able to collect it anyway. Can you give me example how to collect output from autoit in this way?

I believe it will be very helpful to have something like Autoit3console.exe in the installation package.

Thanks
