UDF for Commandline interaction and control.

[vekenagwa]

To give a little backstory, I am a Network Tech and a novice programmer. Recently decided to start learning Autoit to automate some of my troubleshooting. Yes I know they already have tools out that do most of that, I just really want to build something myself.

What I am looking for:

Need a UDF or some kind of guidance as to interacting with commandline, I use a program called plink which is a commandline based console for putty. I can already code to send commands etc to commandline but I need to add functionality for reading the text that is displayed with each sent command etc. e.g. If I run a command that lists all configurations on a system I need my script to read and capture that output and save it else where. The problem I'm having with both putty and plink is the text displayed is not visible to the script.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for either further research or a solution?

Thank you

Vek

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Did you search the forum for plink? There are plenty of threads discussing this subject.

I wrote a UDF  called "plinkwrapper" to do this type of activity, several  years ago, for a group I used to work for.  It is still being used today and has likely saved them many hours of  labour.
