CMD output

[zoel]

Hi people, I want to run a cmd command i.e ipconfig and have the output in the input frame on my GUI. Can somebody give some help.

This is my code so far.

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
    Local $aWndPos
    Local $hWnd = GUICreate("Form2", 900, 420, -1, -1, Default + $WS_MAXIMIZE)
        GUISetBkColor(0xE4E4E4)
    Local $idFilemenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&File")
    Local $idExititem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $idFilemenu)
    Local $idInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 210, 10, 660, 360)
        GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKBORDERS)
    Local $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 10, 10, 190, 25)
        GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, BitOR($GUI_DOCKLEFT, $GUI_DOCKTOP, $GUI_DOCKWIDTH, $GUI_DOCKHEIGHT))
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE
;~ Uncomment lines below if you wish to have the inputbox take up the entire window
;~          $aWndPos = WinGetPos($hWnd)
;~          GUICtrlSetPos($idInput, 11, 11, $aWndPos[2] - 54, $aWndPos[3] - 99)
        Case $idExititem
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Don't use an Input control, use an Edit control, use the Run function and look in the help file for examples using $STDERR_MERGED or $STDOUT_CHILD  to get the output of the command you're running.

Thank you sir

My script doesn't work us it should, I can't do it

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
Local $iPID = Run("cmd.exe", "ipconfig", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
    Local $aWndPos
    Local $hWnd = GUICreate("Form2", 900, 420, -1, -1, Default + $WS_MAXIMIZE)
        GUISetBkColor(0xE4E4E4)
    Local $idFilemenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&File")
    Local $idExititem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $idFilemenu)
    Local $idInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 210, 10, 660, 360)
        GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKBORDERS)
    Local $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 10, 10, 190, 25)
        GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, BitOR($GUI_DOCKLEFT, $GUI_DOCKTOP, $GUI_DOCKWIDTH, $GUI_DOCKHEIGHT))
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE
;~ Uncomment lines below if you wish to have the inputbox take up the entire window
;~          $aWndPos = WinGetPos($hWnd)
;~          GUICtrlSetPos($idInput, 11, 11, $aWndPos[2] - 54, $aWndPos[3] - 99)
        Case $idExititem
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

@zoel "doesn't work" should be banned from the English language. How about some detail on what isn't working as expected? You mentioned outputting a command to your Edit (now Input) control, but I see no code written to do this.

[zoel]

Thank you sir, I don't know how to doit!

[BrewManNH]

Open the help file, look at STDOutRead, try the example script to see how it's done, and learn something new.

Or search the forum here for the 1000's of examples using stdoutread.

[zoel]

Ok I will try it, thanks!

[zoel]

What i ever i try i have an error, I'm unable to do this, can somebody give me an example.

thanks!

How about posting what you are trying, or the error, rather than asking us to guess?? We cannot assist if you continue forcing us to pull teeth to get info from you.

Be aware, this is not a forum where someone is going to spoon feed it to you and do all the work for you. We're more than happy to help, but the "I can't do it, do it for me" attitude will get you nowhere.

Post the code you're using, and the error you're getting - not difficult

I can't understand the example from the help file. All I want is to run a cmd command like ipconfig when I push the button and have the output in the input form.

Thank you!

Download and install the full script editor: https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit-script-editor/downloads/

When you run your code within Scite it will give you more error information, in this case you are missing udfs at the top of your script, in the examples in the help file remember to note down the includes required for that function/variable:

#include <Array.au3> ;~ This is for the _ArrayDisplay() function
#include <AutoItConstants.au3> ;~ This declares the $STDOUT_CHILD Variable
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> ;~ This declares the $MB_SYSTEMMODAL variable

NB: There are other functions that would capture a folder paths i.e. _FileListToArrayRec which don't require CMD.

Thank you Subz
