AutoIt Errors To Stdout - Code

[Valik]

This is all that's necessary to make JdeB's idea found here work.

A compiled version can be found http://www.autoitscript.com/fileman/users/Valik/autoit3.exe

This only works with an editor capable of grabbing the data, such as SciTE. The line I used to test with in SciTE was:

autoit3dir=C:\Path\To\Modified\File
command.go.$(au3)=$(autoit3dir)\autoit3.exe /ErrorStdOut "$(FilePath)"

In globaldata.h, globaldata.cpp, add variable:

bool g_bStdOut;

In Application.cpp:

Initialize g_bStdOut to false in AutoIt_App::AutoIt_App()

In AutoIt_App::ParseCmdLine() after the if block looking for a /c request, add this:

else if (stricmp("/ErrorStdOut", szTemp) == 0)
{
    g_bStdOut = true;
    if (nNumParams == 1)
    {
        pvTemp->ArraySubscriptClear();                // Reset the subscript
        pvTemp->ArraySubscriptSetNext(1);            // Array is 1 element (num params)
        pvTemp->ArrayDim();                            // Dimension array

        pvTemp->ArraySubscriptClear();                // Reset the subscript 
        pvTemp->ArraySubscriptSetNext(0);            // Set subscript we want to access
        pvElement = pvTemp->ArrayGetRef();            // Get reference to the element
        *pvElement = 0;                                // $CmdLines[0] = 0
        return;
    }
    --nNumParams;    // Decrement because we strip the /ErrorStdOut from the command line
    g_oCmdLine.GetNextParam(szTemp);    // skip to the next item
}

Finally in script.cpp, modify these:

In FatalError(int iErr, int nCol):

if (g_bStdOut)
    printf("%s (%d) : ==> %s: \n%s \n%s\n",szInclude, nAutScriptLine, szText, szScriptLine, szOutput2 );
else
    MessageBox(g_hWnd, szOutput, szTitle, MB_IConstop | MB_OK | MB_SYSTEMMODAL | MB_SETFOREGROUND);

And in FatalError(int iErr, const char *szText2):

if (g_bStdOut)
    printf("%s (%d) : ==> %s: \n%s \n%s\n",szInclude, nAutScriptLine, szText, szScriptLine, szText2);
else
    MessageBox(g_hWnd, szOutput, szTitle, MB_IConstop | MB_OK | MB_SYSTEMMODAL | MB_SETFOREGROUND);

Tested it sucessfully with textpad, Scite and Crimson with the test version i had ....

Just tried your version and it looks great !!!

[Valik]

Forgot to mention, that code works for both versions of ParseCmdLine() so it needs to go into both.

I've added it to my copy, ta.
