Return Array or String on Exit

[MiMac]

Hey everybody,

I have a question about executable script.

Is it possible that the script.exe returns a string or an array instead of a code number?

If yes, what is the method to so that?

Thanks for your reponses.

MiMac.

return string

Func Err_Stamp()    
    Return @MON & "/" & @MDAY & "/" & @YEAR
EndFunc
MsgBox(0, "", Err_Stamp())oÝ÷ Ú·­º¹Ú®¶²jëh×6Func Array_ret()
    Return StringSplit("1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10", ",")
EndFunc
$aTest = Array_ret()
MsgBox(0, "", $aTest[10])

@picaxe, that is a Function return... I think he is looking for an "exit code" return... but maybe I misunderstood

No, you are right danwilli.

My question is for an exit code of an executable like "script.exe".

@danwilli you're right, it is possible to return a string from a compiled exe, see here via stdout, don't know about an array

I do not think you can use an array....

in fact... I get issues if I use a number over 9 digits

IE:

Exit(987654321) gives me an exit code of: 987654321

-BUT-

Exit(9876543210) gives me an exit code of: 1286608618

strange

Yes, i know that Exit() doesn't work. It can return only "code". But, i would like to return a string like "Error" or "azertyuiop" (It's just examples ).

the thread that picaxe linked you to has a wrapper to do pretty much what you are asking.
