Clipget problem cmd window

[tbodine88]

I am writing a script to read the contents of a cmd window.

expandcollapse popup

#include <Misc.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

Global $title = ""
Global $targetid = 0
Global $winX
Global $winY
Global $lastCutTime
Global $nextCutTime

;--------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Changes the Target Window
; Output: $title, $tagetid
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Func changeTarget()
    $title = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\wintitle.ini", "Main", "WinTitle", "none")
    $targetid = WinGetHandle($title)
EndFunc  ;==>changeTarget

;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; CutPaste
; Copies the whole PCSP window to $text
; $lastText gets the old value of $text
;
; Input:
;   $targetid
; Output:
;   $text
;   $lastText
;   $lastCutTime
;    $nextCutTime
;   $needPageDown
;----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Func CutPaste()
    Local $_Wintitle
    Local $mm = AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", 0)
    $_Wintitle = _WinAPI_GetWindowText($targetid)
    WinWait($_Wintitle, "")
    If Not WinActive($_Wintitle, "") Then WinActivate($_Wintitle, "")
    WinWaitActive($_Wintitle, "")
    MouseMove(20, 13)
    MouseDown("main")
    MouseUp("main")
    MouseMove(20, 187)
    MouseMove(140, 187)
    Sleep(100)
    MouseMove(157, 187)
    MouseDown("main")
    MouseUp("main")
    MouseMove(7, 30)
    MouseDown("main")
    MouseMove(797, 449)
    MouseUp("main")
    Send("{ENTER}")
    $lastText = $text
    $text = ClipGet()
    $lastCutTime = @HOUR * 3600 + @MIN * 60 + @SEC
    $nextCutTime = $lastCutTime + $delay
    $needPageDown = True
    AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", $mm)
EndFunc  ;==>CutPaste


changeTarget()
$delay = 5
for $i = 1 to 22
   CutPaste()
   Filewrite("Screen.txt",$text)
next

It was working until I wrote a script to invoke this code multiple times rapidly within a minute.

Rebooting doesn't fix the problem.

BTW cutting and pasting from the CMD window to a notepad manually continues to work fine.

1. How can I fix this?

2. How can I avoid this happening in the future ?

Thanks

Does your program work if you exit your program then re-run it?

I had the same problem but it would work as above.

if your program works as described I can tell you how I solved my delema.

Well it worked at when I was in the office now It doesn't. Rebooting the PLC and the compouter has no effect.

I think we share a similar problem.

What I had to do was move my code (similar to your Func CutPaste()) to a different program then run it multiple times (Run(@WorkingDir & "\your prog name.exe") .

It can be called multiple times and should work every time. I use this to do text to speech in my E-Sword Bible.
