Thanks for you answer. But what I want to do is get the text from a command window, like the process below.

we can click mouse right button on one command window, the select "Select All", then press "Enter" button at the keyboard. After that, we can open a text file and paste the whole command window text to this file.

Now I want to use AutoIt to realize the whole process. Can you help me ?

write anything to command window and press 'a' button to start the program
HotKeySet("a","doit")

func doit()
mousemove(X,Y);make sure X and Y move your cursor to the comand window
mouseclick("right")
mousemove(X-"300",Y); when you have a right click, a context menu appear near the cursor, so use this to move the cursor down near the current position at the "Select All" text, this line of code won't do that for you, you must find the position yourself and change it but i think this way is possible
mouseclick("left");this press the "selectall" if the position is right
send("^c")
sleep(1000)
run("notepad.exe")
opt("winTitleMatchMode",2)
winwaitactive(" - Notepad")
send("^v")
endfunc

hope you can make it or there'll be some better solution

1. You Can't Get Text From CMD.. Heres A Working Example :)

Example :

Run ("Notepad.exe")
Sleep ('200')
WinActivate ('Untitled - Notepad')
Send ('First Line Test Text...')
Send ('{Enter}')
Send ('Second Line Test Text')
Sleep ('200')
$Win_Text = WinGetText ('Untitled - Notepad')
MsgBox ('0','Msg Box Example', $Win_Text,'1')
FileWriteLine ('File Example.txt', $Win_Text)

Hope This Helps

he asked for help with the text in CMD, it's P0ssible to do this with StdoutRead(), but in the last post, he ask to do this in a simple way (like manually) but you didn't ment it ?
