schoel Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hello, I need a script to run a console program for me that requires parameters. I am aware of the ShellExecution function but I also need to get the output from the program (from stdout) and I can't find any way to get that. Can anyone help me? Best regards, Schoel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoel Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I actually just read the help file and from that it wasn't clear that Run can actually pass parameters to the program in the filename paramater. I have however tried this now: #include <Constants.au3> $gocr = Run("C:\Program\NetPbm\bin\gocr047.exe -i C:\Program\NetPbm\bin\test.pnm", "C:\Program\NetPbm\bin\", @SW_MAXIMIZE, 2) While 1 $line = StdoutRead($gocr) If @error Then ExitLoop WEnd MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line) When I run gocr047 with the same parameters (-i C:\Program\NetPbm\bin\test.pnm) in a console, I get some output on standard out and then the program terminates. The above script however, shows just an empty MsgBox. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change this: Global $line = "" While 1 $line &= StdoutRead($gocr) If @error Then ExitLoop WEnd Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Richard Robertson Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) $line &= StdoutRead($gocr)If you only use =, you just get the last line.Edit: Curses, foiled again. Edited April 24, 2009 by Richard Robertson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoel Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thank you both for your help and time! It works properly now! Copied the While loop from the example of StdoutRead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
