Problem with Loop (stdoutread)

[Kuroro]

hello everyone..

this is my first post..

i have a problem where the whole script is paused when i use the Stdoutread function..

i think the reason is that mencoder take a long time to encode one video file..

therefore, the loop will continue forever until mencoder finish its job..

so, is there any way to avoid this?

#include <Constants.au3>

$mencoder = Run(@ComSpec & " /c C:\mencoder.exe " & $mencoderscripthere, "C:\", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

_std($mencoder)

Func _std($foo)

While 1   ;it will loop here forever until mencoder finish its job
$line = StdoutRead($foo)
If @error Then ExitLoop 
MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line)
Wend

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

EndFunc

MsgBox(0, "Debug", "Exiting...")

tq

y don't u just try to avoid stdoutread totally..

Just use this, something like this:

Run(@ComSpec & " /c C:\mencoder.exe >c:\test.txt" & $mencoderscripthere, "C:\", @SW_HIDE)

This will store the command result in c:\test.txt.. Just do a filereadline and display it on a msgbox..

my bad for not explaining the problem properly..

@Manjish, your method actually works..

but the problem is that i'm runnnig multiple line of batch file..

for example,

[batch file]

"C:\Documents and Settings\Ronaldo\Desktop\tools\mencoder.exe" -vf harddup -sws 2 -priority idle -of rawvideo -o a.avi

"C:\Documents and Settings\Ronaldo\Desktop\tools\mencoder.exe" -vf harddup -sws 2 -priority idle -of rawvideo -o a.avi

etc etc

[/batch file]

i use FileReadtoarray to read each line from the batch/text file and then use For-to-Next function..

so, i need to wait for the first line to finish before moving on to the second line..

that's where the problem lies..

i need to 'pause' the script so that it doesn't run the second line of the batch file before the first one finish but the first line is taking a long time before it finish and the whole script will be 'paused'..

i hope you understand it well..
