GetOpt.au3 v1.3 If you've ever dabbled in C (or Python, Perl etc) then you might have heard of getopt() (Wiki entry). Well, I wrote this UDF to get that functionality into AutoIt. Some searching around here on the forum did turn up some other UDFs in this direction, but I decided to write my own port anyway and parallel the implementation in the C library. It's still missing a few things but on a whole it does the job really well. It's now pretty much complete. And I want to share it with you all. So here it is. If you want to handle the command line options passed to your script or program like a master, then this is the UDF for you! Main features: Parses DOS style options as well as GNU style options alike.Handles both short and long options.Define options that must have arguments when used.Define and handle suboptions (-s=foo,bar=quux,baz).Supports + and /- option modifiers.Casts string arguments to AutoIt variants, e.g. -a=yes becomes True.Easy access to any passed operand that's not an option.Some examples of invoking scripts: Script.au3 -a -b=10 --long-option file.txt Script.au3 /A /B:10 /Long-Option file.txtAs you see you can use both styles on the command line (as a matter of fact, at this moment you could even mix them but that wouldn't be good practice). In your script you just set the options you want to detect with _GetOpt_Set() and then iterate through each option with _GetOpt(). The 'file.txt' is available through _GetOpt_Oper(). See GetOpt-Example.au3 below for a step-by-step walkthrough of using GetOpt.au3. The UDF: GetOpt.au3 (+43) GetOpt-Example.au3: A demo of GetOpt.au3 #include <GetOpt.au3> #include <Array.au3> ; For demo purposes only. If 0 = $CmdLine[0] Then ; Create our own example command line.

I'm attempting to capture the output from the command line tool PSEXEC. I'm using AutoIT to run an instance of PSEXEC against a remote PC to audit Local Admins in my environment using net.exe (C:\Windows\System32> net localgroup administrators). However the usual trick I use to capture command line output does not appear to work well with PSEXEC, as the bottom portion of the output is missing from the return. Any ideas or recommendations are greatly appreciated. Here is what I'm working with: ;This script will read from a list of hosts and report who has local admin privileges on the machine #RequireAdmin Global $fileName = @ScriptDir & '\test.txt' ;hostlist, one host per line readHostList() ;Read list of hosts Func readHostList() Local $file = FileOpen($fileName, 0) While 1 $line = FileReadLine($file) If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop ConsoleWrite($line & @CRLF) ;MsgBox(0,0,$line) getLocalAdmins($line) WEnd FileClose($file) EndFunc ;run PSEXEC to list local admins Func getLocalAdmins($remotePC) Local $testFile = @ScriptDir &'\test234.txt' FileOpen($testFile, 1) Local $psexec = 'psexec \\' & $remotePC & ' net localgroup administrators' FileWriteLine($testFile, _RunCmd($psexec) ) FileClose($testFile) EndFunc ;Used to return CLI output Func _RunCmd($sCommand) Local $nPid = Run(@Comspec & " /c" & $sCommand, @SystemDir, @SW_Hide, 8), $sRet = "" If @Error then Return "ERROR:" & @ERROR ProcessWait($nPid) While 1 $sRet &= StdoutRead($nPID) If @error Or (Not ProcessExists ($nPid)) Then ExitLoop WEnd Return $sRet EndFunc ## If i manually run the command on the remote PC via PSEXEC I will get the following output: PsExec v2.11 - Execute processes remotely Copyright (C) 2001-2014 Mark Russinovich Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com Starting net on PCNAME... on PCNAME... net exited on PCNAME with error code 0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- admin Administrator Alias name administrators Domain\Domain Admins Comment Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the computer/domain Members The command completed successfully. ## The returned output from running the above script is as follows: PsExec v2.11 - Execute processes remotely Copyright (C) 2001-2014 Mark Russinovich Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com Alias name administrators Connecting to PCNAME...

If you ever get to see it work, you'll see how handy it is, mostly if you have many terabytes of files ( or just plain can't remember where a file is at )

Hello, I have a console application that works with command line arguments which I don't have its source code, & I want to create a GUI for it to make it easier. My problem is how to make the GUI application calls the console application & handle its output results to display it in the GUI application with a progressbar or somthing ? Please look at the "X265 Command Line Options" https://x265.readthedocs.org/en/default/cli.html MeGUI is only a GUI app for the cli apps : http://sourceforge.net/p/meguimodproj/code/HEAD/tree/MeGUI Mod/ Help me please
