Autoit & Batch

[Fade91]

Hi

I am trying to record some audio using Linco, however for some reason it won't work!

https://romanrm.net/lineincode

 

This is my batch command that does work! (Somehow run this in Autoit  )

linco -B 8 -C 1 -R 8000 -D 00:00:10 | oggenc - -r -B 8 -C 1 -R 8000 -o Audio.ogg

 

And this is how I attempted to do it in Autoit

ShellExecute("Linco.exe", "-B 8 -C 1 -R 8000 -D 00:00:10 | oggenc - -r -B 8 -C 1 -R 8000 -o Audio.ogg", @ScriptDir)

I even tried "Run()" and both "Run()" & "ShellExecute" seem to open the application and pass the parameters, however it fills the console (command window) with very strange letters and numbers as if i's not executing properly.

 

Thank you!

linco.exe is in @ScriptDir? No, then try:

$sLincoPath="Path to Linco Exe" ;with ending backslash
ShellExecute($sLincoPath&"Linco.exe", "-B 8 -C 1 -R 8000 -D 00:00:10 | oggenc - -r -B 8 -C 1 -R 8000 -o Audio.ogg")

I tried this but still doesn't work.

 

ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\Linco.exe", "-B 8 -C 1 -R 8000 -D 00:00:10 | oggenc - -r -B 8 -C 1 -R 8000 -o Audio.ogg")

It adds a bunch of garbage in the prompt :/

this "|" you have there, is a pipe, use Run( @comspec & ' /c "' & the rest . That should do it.

[Fade91]

Run( @comspec & ' /c Linco.exe -B 8 -C 1 -R 8000 -D 00:00:10 | oggenc - -r -B 8 -C 1 -R 8000 -o Audio.ogg')

Perfect, that did it!

Just a few questions though, what is the purpose of ' /c' and what is a pipeline. How does it differ running it with @Comspec vs Run/ShellExecute.

Lots of questions but don't really know where to look for the answers

no clue, just my experience.

"/c" stands for "close". Means:

Run( @comspec & ' /c

starts the DOS environment and executes the command. When finished it closes the window and exits. Try "/k" to "keep" the window. Useful when you need to debug your code.

"|" is the DOS pipe character. Means: It grabs the output of the command left of the pipe character and passes it as input to the command right of the character.
