AutoIT + SSH

[mrPuh]

Hi!

AutoIT successfully read data from plink console with StdoutRead().

But plink print some incorrect symbols (see screenshot).

From other console ssh-clients (openssh, putty, Bitvise stermc) StdoutRead() return empty string.

Help me please solve the problem.

@mrPuh welcome to the forum. How about posting your code, rather than expecting us to guess? I have some plink scripts, and have not seen this.

that is ANSI colors. the symbols are ESC codes.

This is because you have an alias for ls defined in your profile folder (/home/<username>/) in the .bashrc or .bash_aliases file. With me see the e.g. like this...

# enable color support of ls and also add handy aliases
if [ -x /usr/bin/dircolors ]; then
    test -r ~/.dircolors && eval "$(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)" || eval "$(dircolors -b)"
    alias ls='ls --color=auto'
    alias dir='dir --color=auto'
    alias vdir='vdir --color=auto'

    alias grep='grep --color=auto'
    alias fgrep='fgrep --color=auto'
    alias egrep='egrep --color=auto'
fi

# some more ls aliases
alias ll='ls -l'
alias la='ls -A'
alias l='ls -CF'

In this case ls is executed with the option --color=auto. You can circumvent this by using/defining a different alias or simply by appending the option --color=never.
