CMD.EXE returns a string

[phew]

hi,

i got a console program written in c++, telling me something about the hardware of the computer.

to automate it i wrote a little autoitscript that just executes this c++ program (getstat.exe). but now i want it to "interact" with this:

so when the "getstat.exe" is executed it returns some strings and then "YES" or "NO" in the last line of the cmd.exe-window,

so if it returns "YES" i want my autoitscript to write "getstat.log" with all of the cmd.exe-windows content, if it returns "NO" i want it to do nothing.

the problem is, how to read the returned text from the "cmd.exe-window"?

mostly of help file -

; Demonstrates StdoutRead()
#include <Constants.au3>

$foo = Run("getstat.exe", "", @SW_HIDE,$STDOUT_CHILD)

$line = ""
While 1
    $line &= StdoutRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
Wend

MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line)

- crazy - ~Jap

[phew]

thanks

[phew]

but how do i read out exactly one line and write it to the getstat.log?

the getstat.exe returns:

line1

line2

...

enabled: YES

...

lineN

now i want to read out the whole line "enabled: YES" if it matches "YES", "enabled: NO" if it matches "NO" etc.,

i tried with StringInStr() but actually i did not get it working.

help again, please

(the line number is always the same, 16!)

$iPID = Run("getstat.exe", "", @SW_HIDE, 2)

Local $aArray, $sLine
While 1
    $sLine &= StdoutRead($iPID)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    $aArray = StringRegExp($sLine, "(?s)(?i)(Enabled: \w+)", 1)
    If IsArray($aArray) Then ExitLoop
Wend
If IsArray($aArray) Then 
    MsgBox(0, "Found", $aArray[0])
Else
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "Not Found")
EndIf

You cheated with RegExp().
