DOS Command Output

[Excalibur]

I know this has been asked before but I can't seem to find anything with the forum search feature, any tips?

At any rate, I would like to execute a dos command line call, and get the output of the call. So far I see how to get the return code, how to execute a command and so forth. Suggestions? Thanks for any assistance in advanced.

I normally redirect the result of a Dos command into the text file and parse it.

Seems to work every time without any problems.

I guess that will suffice, it isn't repeated very often. However, is this a custom program you call, otherwise how do you redirect output, so far I don't see how as I intend to call a program that is not of my creation.

search for stdoutread in autoit help file

that's what you search for (the example is included)

O.k. I'm pretty sure I understand how to accomplish this task now, thank you very much for your help.
