In my program there resides this piece:

Local $console = Run(@ComSpec & " /c ping -n 1 -w " & $timeout & " -l " & $icmpsize & " " & $active[$j], @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) ; Run a command screen with a ping command
    
    While 1
        $line = StdoutRead($console) ; Read a line of the output of the command screen output
        If @error Then ExitLoop
        $selectedoutput &= $line ; Put all the read lines together in one variable
    WEnd

(Thanks to: GaryFrost)

You can see there that a ping command (with variables) is given to a cmd.

In the while loop thereafter the lines from the output are gathered.

You'll have to dissassamble this piece yourself

Ofcourse if you can't see the trees through the forrest post ur question(s) here.

Read the help file... Look up "Run" and the Std* functions.

eg:

#include <Constants.au3>
$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c abcd","","",$STDERR_CHILD)

While 1
    $line = StderrRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line)
Wend

Thanks for your comment...

i think it works only with CMD if i telnet from cmd it still calls cmd only

if i send "useradd root" it excutes this line in CMD and gives the output

i have not understud what is @ComSpec command

i have read the help file but not able to understand ...

is there any for this problem

Thanks n Regards

@ComSpec is the same as the Environment variable of your computer to the cmd.exe

(Mine points to: %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe)

So instead of using the full path u can use @ComSpec.

U probably want to use something to:

#include <Constants.au3>
$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /k telnet 1.2.3.4 23","","",$STDERR_CHILD) ; 1.2.3.4 = IPaddress and 23 = portnumber /k lets the cmd remain active and /c shuts down the cmd after the command has run

The only thing is that I don't know how to create a DOS window, let it remain and send commands to it afterwards.

So the code here isn't working as you want!

What this does is creating a dosbox, send a telnet command to it and let the box stay open. And ofc records output in $foo

P.S. The FAQ in the help file contains some information about this.
