Redirecting file stream

[636C65616E]

Hey there,

I need to code something really quick, i should redirect stdout and stderr stream, usually i just use freopen_s from the CRT.

So is there something similar in autoit (did a quick search without results) ? Or maybe a simple way to use the CRT ? I dont want to overkill by runing a dll ... at this point i could just code the stuff in C ...

Thanks,

Clean

Do you want to redirect the output of your AutoIt script or of a program you start using AutoIt?

The script itself, but i guess i found some solution in the winapi with createfile and getstdhandle

AutoIt provides command line switches as described here: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/running.htm

well that's not exactly what i want to do

i just want to redirect the stdout of my script to something else, basicaly, alloc a console, redirect the stream (that's not exactly what i wanna do but the behavior is the same), for instance in C i will write something like that

FILE *proxy;
AllocConsole();
freopen_s(&proxy, "CONOUT$", "w", stdout);
// ...
fclose(proxy);
FreeConsole();

but i think i just found a solution : gonna test it later, and report here if someone needs this later on
