Script called from Command Line

[WhiteAvenger]

Hi,

is it possible in AutoIt to recognise when a script is being called from the command line (cmd.exe)?

And if yes, can you output text into the cmd.exe that called the script?

Yes you can get data from cmd.exe

An example to get data from cmd.exe:

#include <Process.au3>

Func DOS_STDOUT($LINE)
    _RunDOS($LINE & " >" & @TempDir & "\STD_OUT.TXT")
    Local $FILE = FileOpen(@TempDir & "\STD_OUT.TXT",0)
    Local $OUTPUT = FileRead($FILE)
    FileClose($FILE)
    Return $OUTPUT
EndFunc

MsgBox(0,"",DOS_STDOUT("VER"))

As far as I know it's not possible to recognise if cmd.exe started the program.

It's also not possible to display text on console.

But you can send it without displaying.

Use ConsoleWrite for this.

for example:

;hw.au3
ConsoleWrite("hello world!")oÝ÷ ØÚ0ʦºË¢jbëaz趦bjw±yË­z+eG­+!Áì^Ú.¶­·X¢ì"WâØ^Z0¢¹]ßx§¢ëiºÛq´z)x(ºWazZDÈë-~§v­¶­Êjwb²ZÉɵìmo+¬x-à.¶-ÝjÚ¦«jëh×6#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y

ConsoleWrite("Hello World!")
