Argh, don't be ridiculous. When lack of interest had anything to do with the quolity of the thing? This is great function and you should update it.

I don't see why function can't be equaly powerful.

Thanks and I know what you mean. Personally, I also prefer having it in a single procedural entity and found it myself easier to follow. Contrary to my expectation, however, looks like many users feel it complicated in that way, so I tended to write in a function form and expose only necessary steps.

I see. I thought you might have a reason about that. |

regarding StdoutToVar.ahk:
First, Where does this actually access cmd.exe?
Secondly, would this be adaptable to work with telnet.exe?
I am trying to get a responsive from of telnet (i.e. to login and run certain commands dependant on what information is currently in the telnet window, hidden or not)
I have tried to use this to access telnet but it does not return anything at all. |

When it calls CreateProcess(), but without creating the console window, so you may not notice it.

telnet.exe is an interactive app, i.e., needs an interaction with the user, so I don't think this script is usable with it. The same with netsh.exe. |

| What does sWork do? I see it is empty in both examples. I'm just curious what it does. Thanks for creating such a great script for us other people on the forum. |

It'll set the Current/Working directory, which corresponds to AHK's A_WorkingDir. |

At last I updated StdoutToVar.ahk and StdoutWithCOM.ahk and combined into one.
They aren't tested thoroughly as I uses console apps less and less thanks to AHK, so please post here if find a bug. Thanks. |

The script is simplified further. Now, I think/hope it's really easy to use.
| Code: | sCmd := "ipconfig /all"
;bStream := ""
;sDir := ""
;sInput := ""
MsgBox % StdoutToVar_CreateProcess(sCmd, bStream, sDir, sInput) ; StdoutToVar_CreateProcessCOM(sCmd, bStream, sDir, sInput)

Both this and CMDret are great. Hats off to both authors.
As far as the interest issues go, I think that is due to needing more examples of how it works. If you focus just on StdoutToVar.ahk and CMDret , than possibly more novice or casual users may get lost with how you created the script, DllCall talk, etc...
From a user perspective, maybe when people see more of the possibilities and how to use it that it would generate more interest. |

I thought there was little to tell more about it, quite self-evident. I may be wrong. Here are a few more examples.
| Code: | | ; StdoutToVar_CreateProcess(sCmd, bStream = False, sDir = "", sInput = "") ; The function definition |
| Code: | | MsgBox % sOutput := StdoutToVar_CreateProcess("ipconfig.exe /all") |
| Code: | | MsgBox % sOutput := StdoutToVar_CreateProcess("ping.exe www.autohotkey.com", True) ; with Streaming On |
| Code: | | MsgBox % sOutput := StdoutToVar_CreateProcess("cmd.exe /c dir /a /o", "", A_WinDir) ; with Working Directory |
| Code: | | MsgBox % sOutput := StdoutToVar_CreateProcess("sort.exe", "", "", "abc`r`nefg`r`nhijk`r`n0123`r`nghjki`r`ndflgkhu`r`n") ; with Stdin string |

Hi,
is it possible to use this function with tools like telnet? just to get alle the text telnets writing.
A script like this:
- starting telnet
- getting text by your function (how could this work?)
- sending command to telnet
- getting text again
and so on. I hope its no big deal? |

There already is the same question a few posts above. |

| Yes, i already noticed that. But you said its not possible, because its need interaction with the user. But wheres the problem with interaction? I just get a problem getting the telnet text again and again. |

In this case you may use it. But, the problem is: how you're gonna terminate the telnet.exe gracefully? There is no way except using AHK's built-in function "Process, Close" or directly TerminateProcess API (which is easier one in this case). They (actually it) are not graceful exit, you may lose data. |
