Guest itman Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 I'm just wondering if I can use AutoIt to read/write to the serial port? (Com1) -Thanks
sugi Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 (edited) I just tried FileWriteLine('com1', 'test') and after running I had no file by the name 'com1'... So I guess it has been sent the com1 port...I don't have a serial cable to connect two computers but since you're asking you might be able to test this...Try opening the file 'com1' and check if you can read and/or write the data you want.EDIT: Does NOT work!

emmanuel Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 you could also use the command interpretter (command prompt) via autoit, lookup @comspec, you can do anything that you'd do in "dos"... RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'type "' & $somefilewriteninAutoit & '">com1' ) or something like that? "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -Dante (Hicks)
Westi Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 I just tried FileWriteLine('com1', 'test') and after running I had no file by the name 'com1'... So I guess it has been sent the com1 port...Sorry sugi, this is wrong. Check the result value or try to create a file called com1.Device names such as COM1, CON or LPT1 are reserved words,and they can't be used as folder or file names.
