Read text from a console application

[Delta]

I'm trying to read the text output from a console application but the values return nothing. Is it even possible? or is there a better way?

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    $nState = GUICtrlRead($AutoRestart)
    $nRead = WinGetText("C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe")
    GUICtrlSetData($Output, $nRead)
    Select
        Case $nMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $nMsg = $Start
            ShellExecute("C2DTSBOT.pl")
        Case $nMsg = $Stop
            ProcessClose("perl.exe")
        Case $nState = $GUI_CHECKED
            If ProcessExists("perl.exe") Then
                ;;;
            Else
                ShellExecute("C2DTSBOT.pl")
            EndIf
    EndSelect
WEnd

...perhaps with the "peek" option to avoid the freeze that the OP in the thread had.

Perhaps StderrRead might work.
