Allow2010 7 Posted April 14, 2015 Hi, i have an app that sends out some text to the com port (it drives a simple display installed at the com port). I would like to caputure this output, so that i can show the text inside my autoit script. Is there way to do this, maybe similar to StdoutRead or StderrRead ? All ideas are welcome, thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allow2010 7 Posted April 14, 2015 yeah, i found a lot of udfs, but all of them are made to read input or write output... I want to read what another program sends out...so i think i need to somehow "spy" on what is going on at the com port. maybe this will work http://sourceforge.net/projects/com0com/ with this i can create a virtual comport and redirect its output to the input of a second virtual port...from there i should be able to read the output with an udf...

Allow2010 7 Posted April 14, 2015 ok, i tried com0com and it works just fine...only thing that is not so nice: you have to disable codesignung in win64 to use the com0com driver (this is normal for most free unsigned x64 drivers)... I can live with that... Now i only have to read a normal com port...i think i will be able to do this in autoit...we will see :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
