Script wont exit with Exit code

[obfuscatedv]

A bit stumped. Cannot get the script to exit with the proper exit codes.  Ive tried changing around the exit code numbers, different commands, and still no luck.  I'm trying to collect start page URL for a few users, and using exit codes since these URLs arent retrievable in other utilities.

#RequireAdmin
#NoTrayIcon

$site1 = "google.com"
$site2 = "yahoo.com"


$reg = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main", "Start Page")
$reg2 = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main", "Secondary Start Pages")
;MsgBox(0, $reg, $reg2)

Select
    Case StringInStr($reg, $site1) or StringInStr($reg2, $site1)
        Exit 270
    Case StringInStr($reg, $site2) or StringInStr($reg2, $site2)
        Exit 271
EndSelect

obfuscatedv,

Your code works fine for me if I modify the URLs - I also think you need to add a third Case:

$site1 = "bbc"
$site2 = "autoitscript"

$reg = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main", "Start Page")
$reg2 = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main", "Secondary Start Pages")
;MsgBox(0, $reg, $reg2)

Select
    Case StringInStr($reg, $site1) or StringInStr($reg2, $site1)
        Exit 270
    Case StringInStr($reg, $site2) or StringInStr($reg2, $site2)
        Exit 271
    Case Else
        Exit 272
EndSelect

You should show how you are retrieving exit codes, since that is the more likely problem.

Well that and the fact that none of your case conditions are met.

Remember that some apps, like Task Scheduler, show the exit values as HEX.

270 = 0x10E

271 = 0x10F

I've tried adding a last case (just as you did above) if none of the conditions are met, but still no luck.

So where/how are you checking this exit code?

Thanks. Unfortunately, I have tried numerous exit codes to ensure none conflict.

Checking in SCCM reporting tool.  The script completes successfully, however just not returning an exit code, which I've had no problem with in the past

What are the codes returned?

[Jos]

Well, when you for example want to retrieve the %ERRORLEVEL% in a cmd session you need to compile the script as an console program.

That can be done in aut2exe or "#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y" directive assuming you have installed the full installer of SciTE4AutoIt3.

Jos

[jdelaney]

Where test.exe (compiled through right click on script, pick 'Compile Script') is:

If UBound($CmdLine)>1 Then
    Exit $CmdLine[1]
Else
    Exit 999
EndIf

Calling through command line like this:

%comspec% /c test.exe 23

echo %errorlevel%

output:

23

Maybe you aren't calling the exe properly?

Doesnt return anything at all.

Yep, I've compiled a couple different times

[jdelaney]

Or, use start /wait

Try it using RunWait()

[jdelaney]

I don't think he is calling the exe from another script.  But Poster can clarify how he is calling the exe.

[obfuscatedv]

I am not calling the exe from another script. Simply running this one script in itself.

You are right.

Guess my memory let me down there why we put the CUI option in there.  It was for the Consolwrite's to be shown in the CMD session.

Jos

[jdelaney]

So...do you still have an issue?

I gave you two options of running the exe and waiting for completion, and returning the errorlevel (posts #11 and #13).  You are probably just returning the errorlevel of 0, which is to say the process creates succesfully.

[obfuscatedv]

I have tried calling through the command line using errorlevel, in which 0 is returned. But even when changing my start URL as a test, it still does not accurately return these exit codes...

[jdelaney]

Show us HOW you are calling the exe through the command line.

Can't read your mind/console.
