How to write to stdout

[coptang]

I'm completely new to AutoIt, sorry if this is asked often but I have read through the functions list and tried ConsoleWrite and ConsoleWriteError.

I want my exe to behave like a dos app and if called with no args to just respond with some help text or something. ConsoleWrite doesn't seem to do anything. I also tried running "command.com /c echo text" but that opens a new dos window if called originally from a dos window.

At the moment I'm using msgboxes to display failure messages but as the app is likely to be called from a batch script daily on a server I don't want lots of failure messages to pop up on the server for any reason.

I'm sure this must be really simple to do but I'm stuck for where to look.

Thanks

I don't think it's possible. Search for the member "Icekirby", he has some info about it in his signature,

I'm not shure what your realy want (and how you did your test) as AutoIt is a self declared windows window acting language. Anyhow search for stub.exe by @Valik and mx63.dll ( I think it's called).

Thanks people, I think I'll just give it a GUI help screen if called with no args + maybe add e-mail on success / failure functionality as well to report roblems.
