Cannot read _RunDos output file

[hinfie]

I tried to read a output file from a WMIC command, but i keep getting garbage back... does anyone have a idea? The file is can be opend by notepad..

This only happens with WMIC output..

_RunDOS("WMIC.EXE LOGICALDISK GET FREESPACE,SIZE,NAME /format:textvaluelist.xsl >" & @TempDir & "\disk.txt")

$file = FileOpen(@TempDir & "\disk.txt", 0)

; Check if file opened for reading OK
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached
While 1
    $line = FileReadLine($file)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "Line read:", $line)
Wend

FileClose($file)


Func _RunDOS($sCommand)
    Return RunWait(@ComSpec & " /C " & $sCommand, "", @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc  ;==>_RunDOS

That's really odd... actually. I can't seem to get FileRead to work for me at all right now.

I just tried this script for myself:

$file = "C:\temp\stuff.txt"
$filesize = FileGetSize($file)
$fileread = FileRead($file, $filesize)
MsgBox(0, $filesize, $fileread)

Stuff.txt just says "Hello world"

But the script only returns "ÿþH"

That means the file uses the Unicode code page.

SlimShady, Thanks for the unicode tip!

Found the solution in http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...637entry61637

i added the following line:

;Line below parses UniCode to ASCII
   RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c type ' & @TempDir & '\disk.txt>' & @TempDir & '\disk1.txt', '', @SW_HIDE)

and read the disk1.txt file
