[hani-dev]

hello there...

i need to write script run in MS DOS and when u run it it's ask u to write website like www.google.com and then when u hit enter i must got the result of :

ping www.google.com

i other word (ping) must be built in with my script 

sorry for bad english 

can we do that

Hi @hani-dev

Do you want to develop an application compatible with MS-DOS or with Windows?

That should not be so difficult to do

Best regards.

[hani-dev]

@FrancescoDiMuro for windows but work in dos  #pragma compile(Console, True)

but i dont know ho to do what i asked for in the first post

Look at StdoutRead() and StderrRead() in the helpfile on how to read the IO stream of a CMD.

Jos

[hani-dev]

@Jos i already do that and i did not understand how to do that

 

[Jos]

Ok, show us the script with the code you have tried so we can have a look.

[hani-dev]

i found this code : 

#include <Constants.au3>



$DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /c Ping www.google.com", "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
ProcessWaitClose($DOS)
$Message = StdoutRead($DOS)

ConsoleWrite($Message)

what i need is to modify the code to ping any website ( read website from consoleread , consolewrite ) exapmle : 

$DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /c Ping ($website provided manually), "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

[Jos]

I am lost: Why change the command line? Are you seriously trying to run the AutoIt3 Function in a CMD prompt?
or do you want to use a variable which the script will prompt for?

@Jos Let me try to clarify ... first of all my english is 2 bad ...

what i want to do is to run this script from cmd i add this to do it : 

#pragma compile(Console, True)

ok ... the next step when i want to execute my script from cmd i need it to ask me to write the website  (any website wrriten manually )and just hit enter to get this result :

Note : just write website without Ping

Ok... so something like this?:

#pragma compile(Console, True)
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
$web=InputBox("ping website","specify website to check")
if @error then Exit
$DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /c Ping " & $web, "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
while ProcessExists($DOS)
    $Message = StdoutRead($DOS)
    ConsoleWrite($Message)
WEnd
$Message = StdoutRead($DOS)
if $Message <> "" then ConsoleWrite($Message)

Jos

[hani-dev]

yes @jos that what i need but i need it without gui i mean without inputbox i need to write it from cmd window 

[hani-dev]

like this @Jos

[Jos]

Something like this:

#pragma compile(Console, True)
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
ConsoleWrite("Please enter website:")
$web = ""
While 1
    $web &= ConsoleRead()
    If StringInStr($web, @LF) Then ExitLoop
WEnd
ConsoleWrite("pinging:" & $web)
$DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /c Ping " & $web, "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
While ProcessExists($DOS)
    $Message = StdoutRead($DOS)
    ConsoleWrite($Message)
WEnd
$Message = StdoutRead($DOS)
If $Message <> "" Then ConsoleWrite($Message)

Keep in mind @hani-dev something like this can be done much easier in a batch script:

set /P id=Enter site to ping: 
ping %id%
pause

If this is run inside a .bat file it does what you're trying to do in AutoIt.

Where is the fun in that??

[anthonyjr2]

Haha that's true, I suppose we wouldn't have a lot of our fancy UDFs if we didn't try to do every possible thing in AutoIt 

[hani-dev]

@Jos u are the boss man <3 it's working thanx u very much <3 

[hani-dev]

@jos im soryy man it's now working outside the SCITElite 

when i open cmd windows and try to run my compiled .exe i got this 

it's now writing anythink and not doing anythink it's just stuck on this screen !!

 

[Jos]

Not sure what you mean. It is working fine when I compile the script and run it from a CMD prompt.
So what exactly is not working for you?

Jos

I think he purely wants it ran from inside SciTe, not a cmd window.
