Autoit open pipe \\.\pipe\mypipe - (Moved)

[onedayillpay]

I have been trying to connect to my pipeserver.exe its a basic example of c++ pipe server running on windows.

\\.\pipe\vzbEZPipe

 

I thought i could connect to the pipe with fileopen but this dont work. I can run("echo 'test' > '\\.\pipe\vzbEZPipe'") but this launches a cmd terminal for a milli second.

 

Im confused as i thought this would be an easy step to acomplish.

Let’s see the exact code you are using.

You may be interested to use my UDF (see my signature).

Try using the examples first then adapt the code to your needs.

To understand how to name a named pipe, see this.
