STDOUT not showing up on command line?

[Danith]

I have instructions for my script print out using the ConsoleWrite command. When you run it, nothing shows up on screen. If you do a "<scripname> >> output.txt" the instructions will show up. How do I just have it output and display to the screen? Or do I have to do something where it writes the info to a text file then displays it by calling "more <textfile>" ?

Have you tried compiling it as a console app? The option is there in Aut2Exe.

Alternatively if you use scite, you can see it there.

Yes, compiled it has the same behavior as uncompiled. Text only shows if I redirect stdout to a file (thats what >> does, right?)

Oh, and to clarify. The output does show up in the output box in scite. It doesn't show up if I execute the script from the command line (c:\program files\autoit\autoit3.exe myscript.au3) or if I compile it into an exe and then run it from the command line.

I guess for what I'll be using it for it doesn't really matter that much but I'm curious

Did you run it from the command line or just double clicked it in explorer?

If so add a pause or sleep at the end of your script so the dosbox won't flash away before youy can see it.

Yes .

C:\>report_run.exe

C:\>

This demonstrates it

If $CmdLine[0] = 0 Then
    ConsoleWrite("Error:  Enter reports you want to run")
    _Help()
    Exit 1
EndIf


Func _Help()
    ConsoleWrite( @CRLF & "Usage: " & @ScriptFullPath & " ""report name 1"" ""report name 2"" .. etc " & @CRLF & _
    "This will hopefully" & @CRLF & _
    "output to the console/command line" & @CRLF & _
    "but it doesn't seem to work" & @CRLF & _
    "you can see the text by directing it" & @CRLF & _
    "to a file." & @CRLF & _
    "i.e. """ & @ScriptFullPath & " >> text.txt""" & @CRLF & _
    "blah blah" & @CRLF & _
    "more stuff" & @CRLF )
EndFunc

Did you compile it as a Console App as MDiesel suggested?

Add this to your script and recompile it:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y

Ahh thanks.. put me on the right track Adding that option to my script didn't do anything, but manually compiling made it work with the following options:

/comp 4 /pack /console
