printf()?

[maqleod]

I can't seem to locate any equivalent to printf() in the help file, is there one?

I only see functions to input to a command line app or read from one, but not to act as one.

I dont know anything about C/C++, but do you mean the magic

MsgBox()

ConsoleWrite() will work and when you need it as CLI then compile it with the right option in aut2exe.

CODE: AutoItMsgBox()

not quite, I don't want anything but a command prompt, I want all error messages to show up there.

hmm, missed that one somehow, thanks

ConsoleWrite doesn't perform any formatting though so you'll have to create your own string.

true, but what I was most concerned with was getting feedback to any commands to show up in the prompt, formatting the string is easy.

[Richard Robertson]

Ok. Just thought I'd mention it.

AutoIt does not really associate with the command prompt. You are out of luck for this. ConsoleWrite() will be the closest...

I don't understand this remark.. care to explain?

If you want output on the commandline, you should

a) 1) install the full Scite4AutoIt package ( if you have not already )

....2) insert #AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y

....3) compile ( CUI must be compiled first )

b ) OR: use AutToExe and check the Commandline checkbox

To format text, just use --> ConsoleWrite(StringFormat(...))

Just for the record:

$formated_string = StringFormat('Line one\n\t\tLine two\n')

DllCall("msvcrt.dll", "int:cdecl", "printf", "str", $formated_string)

Just for the record:

$formated_string = StringFormat('Line one\n\t\tLine two\n')

DllCall("msvcrt.dll", "int:cdecl", "printf", "str", $formated_string)

Still requires the CUI compile option to write to the shell console (as opposed to the SciTE console):

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y

$formated_string = StringFormat('Line one\n\tLine two\n\t\tLine three\n')

DllCall("msvcrt.dll", "int:cdecl", "printf", "str", $formated_string)

And if you provide that compile option, the DLL call is not requiered:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y

$formated_string = StringFormat('Line one\n\tLine two\n\t\tLine three\n')

ConsoleWrite($formated_string)

As alternative I meant, Master Yoda.

Learning, you are. Yes.
