Hi,

I'm making for my program to be able to create ISO file. For that I'm using mkisofs. I also want to make progress bar. I figured pretty good way for this, using FileGetSize during creating of script, since I know how much total size will be. But progress bar does not update itself very good, because FileGetSize does now want sometimes to update itself. But then I got other idea. When using command prompt with mkisofs, it has built in percent, so I need to read somehow that percent (always from last line) and then to update my progress bar, but I don't know how to do that. So, can someone help me with that? Here is how windows look:

You could try using StdoutRead, see example in the help file

you can use these example...

#include <Constants.au3>

$foo = Run('c:\mkisofs.exe bla bla bla', "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

While 1
    $line = StderrRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    $message = ""
    SplashTextOn("Test", $message, -1, -1, -1, -1, 4, "")
    $message = $message & $line & @LF
    ControlSetText("Test", "", "Static1", $message)
    sleep(100)

Hi,

Thank you for responses. I tried with StderrRead() but when I add $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD to my run command, CMD windows become unresponsive, it don't display any text and it won't never exit. Any other idea? Or someone maybe know how to refresh some folder, so I can get back to my first idea (since I sow that when I manually refresh folder where ISO is creating ,progress bar update itself regular).

Cheers :)
