Output script to DOS

[IanN1990]

Hi,

I am having some issues displaying the STDOUT Stream within command prompt

Eample.exe - Code

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=Y
   sleep(1000)
   ConsoleWrite("Test")
   sleep(1000)

Cmd 

Start /Wait C:\Example.exe

The command prompt successfully runs and waits for the program to close but doesn't display the console written information?

Help file says 

"The purpose for this function is to write to the STDOUT stream. Many popular text editors can read this stream. Scripts compiled as Console applications also have a STDOUT stream.
This does not write to a DOS console unless the script is compiled as a console application." and https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/AutoIt3Wrapper_Directives shows

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI

(Y/N)

Change output program to CUI in stead of GUI.

N

So where have i gone wrong

When running a slightly modified version of your script (compiled and double clicked in Windows Explorer) it displays the expected values:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=Y
Sleep(1000)
Global $iDataWritten = ConsoleWrite("Test")
Sleep(1000)
MsgBox(0, "Result", "Bytes written " & $iDataWritten)

Just to confirm. When you double click the test.exe it opens up a dos display?

As if that is the case. Mine does not :S

I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Autoit 3.5.4 but had the same issue.

I found though with SciTE4AutoIt3.exe installed it works as you describe it.

There is no AutoIt version 3.5.4.  Are you talking about the SciTE version?

What's the version of AutoIt you run?

MsgBox(0, "", @AutoItVersion)

Do you run the full SciTE version or the light version that comes with AutoIt?
