Problems running Command Line commands

[fopetesl]

I have problems running both Bat files and Command line instructions.

This function hopefully shows what I have tried so far

Global $fFileToCreate = "", $DOS
ScanFilm($fFileToCreate)
Func ScanFilm($fFileToCreate)
  MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Scanning Status", $fFileToCreate)
;  $DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "scan.bat" & @CRLF, "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
  $DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /k " & "ncat 192.168.1.6 80 <scant.txt >scanrep", "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
;  $DOS = _RunDOS("ncat 192.168.1.6 80 <scant.txt >scanrep")
ProcessWaitClose($DOS)
$Message = StdoutRead($DOS)
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Stdout Read:", $Message)
Endfunc

My first attempt running scan.bat reveals a bug in cmd.exe where the result of

echo !SR | ncat 192.168.1.6 80 > scanrep

is

C:\S3_GUI\ncat>scan.bat

C:\S3_GUI\ncat>echo scant.txt   | ncat 192.168.1.6 80  1>scanrep
Ncat: .

C:\S3_GUI\ncat>

note the added '1' which then throws the error, (when client is connected), "File or directory not found" so the command fails.  This has been run on four different computers running Windows 7 with same result.

Next using Run() seems to truncate the command so $DOS reads:

Using _RunDOS() doesn't throw any error but MsgBox() is empty.

Don't think this is a bug but merely telling you at the STDOUT (1) output goes to the file.

Which RUN command is that as the current active Run()m command pipes the STDOUT to a file it is expected that only the DOS prompt is returned?

I cannot argue with your logic regarding (1) output except when 'live' it fails with the error as stated.

I clearly have misunderstood StdOutRead() then. I'll try and pay more attention to F1
