Please Help with comparing expected result with text from cmd

[RomanY]

Hi guys, can you please help me! I run cmd and some special script which compare two files and than I see results in console. How can I get text from cmd and compare it with some expected result, with a help of Autoit?

Thanks & Regards, Roman Y

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Please provide - at least - what you have coded in AutoIt so far. How do you run the Cmd? Can you give an example of the returned results etc. etc.
The more information you provide, the more answers you will get

Let's take for example command: ipconfig

and I want to make some verification that my ip address:

 IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.2

How to make some assert or another comparison with expected result?

Use Run and redirect the output to StdOut. The help file provides an example here https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/StdoutRead.htm

[water]

Example:

Local $iPID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /C ipconfig', "",  @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
    
    ; Wait until the process has closed using the PID returned by Run.
    ProcessWaitClose($iPID)

    ; Read the Stdout stream of the PID returned by Run.
    Local $sOutput = StdoutRead($iPID)

Variable $sOutput now holds the results of ipconfig.

Thank you, it is better!

Now, I want to check that I have exactly that ip address from all that output,

for example I write

_Assert($sOutput, '192.168.2.4')

But it compare all output result and of course I receive failed assert.

How can I check that in output result there should be my expected result?

Quick and dirty!

If StringInStr($sOutput, "192.168.2.4") > 0 Then
    MsgBox(0, "IP-address", "IP-Address found!")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "IP-address", "IP-Address not found!")
EndIf

@water Very big thanks! You are really help me to solve my problem!

I just have no experience yet, and want to work with autoit, and some times even to find simple answer on my questions it is hard because of lack of knowledge working with Autoit Help.

Glad to be of service

Next step would be to replace ipconfig with an approach that only returns the IP-address. WMI would be the way to go.
In the example scripts section you will find "Scriptomatic". This script generates AutoIt code to query WMI.
