Issues capturing StdOutRead

[Eambo]

Hey guys!

 

This is almost definitely just me doing something very silly, but as you can see in the screenshot below:

 

- Super basic code
- Returns "curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'TEST'
- Trying to get this into a string
- Stdout Read is returning empty it would seem.

Would anyone be able to advise where I'm going wrong here? 

 

 

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3> ; Required for _ArrayDisplay only.

$err6="(6) Couldn't resolve host"

   $iPID = Run("curl.exe -X POST TEST","", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)

   Local $sOutput = ""
    While 1
        $sOutput &= StdoutRead($iPID)
        If @error Then ; Exit the loop if the process closes or StdoutRead returns an error.
            MsgBox(0,0,@error)
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    WEnd
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Stdout Read:", $sOutput)

Have you tried $STDERR_MERGED instead of $STDOUT_CHILD ?

Voilà

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3> ; Required for _ArrayDisplay only.


$_Pid = Run ("curl.exe https://www.autoitscript.com", '', @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_MERGED )

Dim $_StderrRead='', $_StdoutRead='', $_StdReadAll='', $_ProcessTimerInit = TimerInit ( )

While ProcessExists ( $_Pid )
    $_StderrRead = StderrRead ( $_Pid )
    If Not @error And $_StderrRead <> '' Then
        ConsoleWrite ( "STDERR read : " & $_StderrRead & @Crlf )
    EndIf
    $_StdoutRead = StdoutRead ( $_Pid )
    If Not @error And $_StdoutRead <> '' Then
        ConsoleWrite ( "STDOUT read : " & $_StdoutRead & @Crlf )
    EndIf
    If Round ( TimerDiff ( $_ProcessTimerInit ) / 1000 ) > 3 And $_StdReadAll ='' Then
        If ProcessExists ( $_Pid ) Then ProcessClose ( $_Pid )
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Wend

@rootx Good example but wouldn't using BitOR($STDOUT_CHILD, $STDERR_CHILD) be better here? Of course you want to read both channels but you don't want them to be combined. Correct me if I'm wrong though!

Thank you guys! I meant to respond earlier but you beat me to it, however yeah I realised later this was STDERR_CHILD being missing and not grabbign the StderrRead.

Sorted, thank you for your assistance on my derpiness!
