Read text from a dos-like window generated from a C program?

[Aassdd]

I have a C program and its source (so I know all the vars names). The program does some things and print text on the dos window. How can I read that text?

I was just about to post a topic asking the exact same question

Can't seem to find anything on it anywhere

Look at my Net Send GUI wrapper

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=343332

#include <Constants.au3>

$computers = ''
    
$foo = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c net view', @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)

While 1
    $computers &= StdoutRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
WEnd

ConsoleWrite ($computers & @CRLF)

EDIT: added include file

Thanks, works perfect

I want to read that text and write it to a text file, how does that suppose to help me?

Instead of "net view" place "your_dos_application_name.exe" :-)

I do but it doesn't print anything in the console

$text = ""
    
    $wnd = Run("C:\Users\Alter\Desktop\**.exe -parameters..", "", @SW_HIDE)

    While 1
        $text &= StdoutRead($wnd)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
    WEnd

ConsoleWrite ($text & @CRLF)

EDIT: Nvm I got it! You really helped me, thanks a million!

What version of AutoIt are you using? There were major changes to StdOutRead() in 3.2.12.1.

I should have used $STDOUT_CHILD

#include <Constants.au3>

$text = ""
    
    $wnd = Run("C:\Users\Alter\Desktop\.., "", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)

    While 1
        $text &= StdoutRead($wnd)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
    WEnd

ConsoleWrite ($text & @CRLF)

$wnd = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c  your_app.exe -parametres', "C:\Users\Alter\Desktop\", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)

Look carefully at my previous posts!!! You changed what I posted in Run()

For DOS applications you must use @ComSpec & ' /c to be able to catch it's DOS output.
