Get Os Command Output Into A Script

[Guest scriptdau]

Hi Everybody,

is it possible to get the output of a OS Command (for example DIR /S) into a MSGBOX without going over a temp. file?

In OS Batch File I' am able to send the folder/file to a batch dir %%1 - is this also possible?

Getting crazy to get this done

For a hints and tips many thanks.

Best regards

Carlos

Sounds like a good use for DirectTo.exe?

You cannot pipe or redirect to autoit. ....

Wasn't someone working on getting this feature added?

I couldn't find a DirectTo.exe, so I made one. Here it is uncompiled

If $cmdline[0]=1 Then 
    If $cmdline[1]="/?" Then MsgBox(1,"Usage","DirectTo.exe file.exe [arguments]" & @crlf&"This copies output to clipboard.")
EndIf
If $cmdline[0]=0 Then MsgBox(1,"Usage","DirectTo.exe file.exe [arguments]" & @crlf&"This copies output to clipboard.")
$out=""
For $i= 1 To $cmdline[0]
    $out=$out & " " & $cmdline[$i]
Next
tooltip("Gathering Data",0,0)
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $out & " >c:\tempme.txt",'',@SW_HIDE)
$file=fileread("c:\tempme.txt",FileGetSize("c:\tempme.txt"))
FileDelete("c:\tempme.txt")
clipput($file)

I am not sure but the below link could be of some usefulness, I believe

DOH!!

Now I remember.

Try this.

$x=getcmd("dir")


func getcmd($command)
; copies output to clipboard, and returns output
run(@comspec,"",@SW_HIDE)
winwait(@comspec)
controlsend(@comspec,'','',$command & "{enter}")
controlsend(@comspec,'','',"!{space}es{enter}")
winclose(@comspec)
$out=clipget()
return $out
endfunc

might have to adjust for time, but this might help a tad.

Hi Everybody,

first many thanks for your replies.

What I' am fighting is to get the following batch converted into to autoit:

set drive_info=%~d1

set path_info=%~p1

set file_info=%~n1

cd \

%drive_info%

cd %path_info%

@echo Files in Folder %drive_info%%path_info%%file_info%:

@FOR /f %%a in ('DIR %drive_info%%path_info%%file_info% /s ^|FIND " File(s) " /c') do @FOR /f %%b in ('SET /a dummy^=%%a-1') do @(DIR %drive_info%%path_info%%file_info% /s/-c |FIND " File(s) "|MORE /e +%%

pause

Over the SendTo menu it is possible to add a shortcut of the batch-file. The org. question was, is it with autoit also possible to get a variable (for example) over the ms-explorer to process?

Thanks for any reply.

Regards Carlos
