stdout

[calthabis]

Hi I am running a tcl-script which will start autoitscript from time to time.

So my question is if there are any way to print to stdout or whatever it is called =) for my tcl-script to catch?

ConsoleWrite( "my message here" )

ConsoleWrite( "my message here" )

You need to compile as CLI for that to write to STDOUT on the console shell.

Could you be kind explaining how i compile as CLI and what that means? ^^

I dont think he wants to print it out to a console(i could be wrong) i think he literaly want to capture the stream.

if you do want to have the text show up in a console you must compile it with the option to use a CUI instead of GUI

If you run Aut2Exe from a command line, add the "/console" switch to it. Or you can put "#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y" at the top of your script when compiling from SciTE.

AutoIt scripts compile as GUI apps by default. Compiling as a console app makes it a text based program to run from a cmd shell, like telnet.exe.

For example, compile this and run the .exe from a commandline:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y

For $n = 5 To 1 Step -1
    ConsoleWrite("This is a test: " & $n & @LF)
    Sleep(1000)
Next
ConsoleWrite("Done." & @LF)

Now run it from the command line again like this (shows lines that don't contain '3'):

MyScript.exe | FIND /v "3"

Recompile it without the compiler directive a the top and you get nothing out.

Edit: Added demo.
