High resource consumption

[Mateo]

Hi,
I have the following code, I can not understand why the amount of RAM it takes all the time increases!
I tried to test it from many directions and failed and I would really love help !!

Thank you

#include <constants.au3>

Func _GetActiveSSID()
   Local $line, $pid = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'netsh wlan show interfaces', "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)
   While 1
      If ProcessExists($pid) Then
         $line = StringStripWS(StdoutRead($pid, "peek=True"), 4)
         If @error Then Return("Error")
         If StringInStr($line, "SSID") Then
            $line = StringTrimLeft($line, StringInStr($line, "SSID")+6)
            Return(StringTrimRight($line, StringLen($line)-StringInStr($line, "BSSID")+2))
         ElseIf StringInStr($line, "disconnected") Then
            Return("None")
         EndIf
      Else
         Return("Process Closed")
      EndIf
   WEnd
EndFunc

While 1
   MsgBox(0, "SSID", _GetActiveSSID(), 0.5)
   Sleep(500)
WEnd

Just now, Mateo said:

While 1
   MsgBox(0, "SSID", _GetActiveSSID(), 0.5)
   Sleep(500)
WEnd

It should be noted that the point in this code snippet is to check if it really is this function that is consuming the RAM (it's a big code, but really the problem is here)

using return("string") like this bugging the script it should return variable only . try use msgbox or console write instead. and i recommend using processwaitexit  method to get the output std than the loop method in your case .exp
 

#include <constants.au3>

Func _GetActiveSSID()
   Local $line, $pid = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'netsh wlan show interfaces', "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD+ $STDOUT_CHILD  )

      ProcessWaitClose($pid)
         $line = StringStripWS(StdoutRead($pid), 4)
         If @error Then ConsoleWrite("Error")
         If StringInStr($line, "SSID") Then
            $line = StringTrimLeft($line, StringInStr($line, "SSID")+6)
            ConsoleWrite(StringTrimRight($line, StringLen($line)-StringInStr($line, "BSSID")+2))

         ElseIf StringInStr($line, "disconnected") Then
            ConsoleWrite("None"&@CRLF)
         EndIf
         StdioClose($pid)
EndFunc

While 1
   MsgBox(0, "SSID", _GetActiveSSID(), 0.5)
   Sleep(500)
WEnd

The major problem is that line (in fact there is 3 problems with that line) :

$line = StringStripWS(StdoutRead($pid, "peek=True"), 4)

1) Second parameter of StdoutRead should be a boolean whereas "peek=True" is a string.

2) Since that string is converted to True, you are always peeking and never grabbing (your memory leak)

3) StringStripWS erases the @error of the StdoutRead.  You will never find an @error that way...

Here the correct way to get the info needed :

#include <constants.au3>

While 1
  MsgBox(0, "SSID", _GetActiveSSID(), 0.5)
  Sleep(500)
WEnd

Func _GetActiveSSID()
  Local $line, $pid = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'netsh wlan show interfaces', "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_MERGED)
  ProcessWaitClose($pid)
  $line = StdoutRead($pid)
  If @error Then Return "Error"
  $line = StringStripWS($line, 4)
  If StringInStr($line, "SSID") Then
    $line = StringTrimLeft($line, StringInStr($line, "SSID") + 6)
    Return StringTrimRight($line, StringLen($line) - StringInStr($line, "BSSID") + 2)
  ElseIf StringInStr($line, "disconnected") Then
    Return "None"
  EndIf
  Return "Not found"
EndFunc   ;==>_GetActiveSSID

Thank you very much!

I'll check it out

[Mateo]

Func _ReduceMemory()
    Local $aReturn = DllCall("psapi.dll", "int", "EmptyWorkingSet", "long", -1)
    If @error = 1 Then
        Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    EndIf
    Return $aReturn[0]
EndFunc

I finally used this code. He does the job excellently.
Many thanks to the helpers
