reading the SciTe Console output

[Bert]

I'm working on a script, and I need to read the output pane in SciTe when AutoIt3Wrapper is started. I tried this, and got nowhere.

if ProcessExists("AutoIt3Wrapper.exe") then 
        $list = ProcessList("AutoIt3Wrapper.exe")
            for $i = 1 to $list[0][0]
                $conr = StdoutRead($list[$i][1])
            next
        sleep(300)
        $str1 = StringInStr($conr, "Exit code:")
        sleep(500)
        MsgBox(0, $str1, $conr)
    EndIf

I need to know when the "Exit code:" is produced in output.

Volly, could explain what you exactly want?

Are you asking to:Run a seperate compiled script that reads the SciTE output pane and checks for "Exit code".

Maybe you can explain the purpose for this?

I got the impression @Volly wants something similar to tee on unix. The ability to monitor/redirect the IOstream in several places.

I think there are 3(4) solutions.

1: A wrapper application between scite and au3wrapper. It would just monitor the iostream and react to it or pass the info on to scite.

2: Attache to the iostream through some dllcalls. Some thing similar to @Valiks stub.exe code (C++)

3: Poll the content of the output pan constantly and monitor for the information wanted. (CTRL+C and clipget works in the worst case scenario)

4: ? Could it be done through a LUA script in SciTE

Witch solution to chose is a matter of how important the functionality is.

Oh, well thats mu 0.02$ anyway.

Danny34 and I are working on a new version of the SciTe toolbar. It is working well, but I discovered a problem. We have it coded so when you press the go icon, or the beta go icon, the toolbar will change so it reflects what controls is available in SciTe. The bug I found is when a error shows up in the AU3Check. If a error shows up, and you press stop, I need the toolbar to switch back. (Just like the controls do in SciTe) I was hoping to read the output in the console to get what I needed.

Does somethng like this work for you ?

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
While 1
    $outputPane = StringRight(ControlGetText("classname=SciTEWindow", "", "Scintilla2"),30)
    TrayTip("", $outputPane ,5)
    If StringInStr($outputPane, "Exit code:") Then ExitLoop
    Sleep(500)
WEnd
MsgBox(262144, 'Debug line ~' & @ScriptLineNumber, 'Selection:' & @LF & '$outputPane' & @LF & @LF & 'Return:' & @LF & $outputPane & @LF & @LF & '@Error:' & @LF & @error) ;### Debug MSGBOX

Tried the code, and it causes the script to exit. In looking at the code, It will read what is in the output window. (which is what I asked for in the first place :"> ) This won't work for if a script has ran once, it will have the exit string already in the window) I'm going to need to read what comes out of Au3Check to keep it stable. I tried to use that, but I couldn't get it to work.

I came up with this, and I think this will solve my problem. I tested it, and I'm getting the results as expected.

If WinExists("Au3Check errors","Do you want to stop the Run?") then 
        WinWaitClose("Au3Check errors","Do you want to stop the Run?")
        if ProcessExists("Autoit3.exe") then 
            ProcessWaitClose("Autoit3.exe")
            StopEx()
        Else
            StopEx()
        EndIf

Did you try the solution I PMed ?
