I dont really want to use telnet, but a telnetlike application. Can you tell me, how i just get the text of a running application (CMD) into a variable using this function?
I tried the example script, but it seems like interacting with my application, because Im getting a "loopcommand error". Does this function interact in anyway with my app? |

No, it just reads the Stdout pipe. There is nothing to cause Loop error. Please be sure you're using the latest build of AHK, or post your code. |

I updated AHK to the newest version now and you script doesnt work any longer?!
I think this should work? But it says: "Error Call To Nonexistent Function" Specifically: COM_Init()
| Code: |
sCmd := "ipconfig /all"
;sDir := ""
;sInput := ""
MsgBox, % StdCreateProcess(sCmd, sDir, sInput) ; StdCreateProcessCOM(sCmd, sDir, sInput)
StdCreateProcess(sCmd, sDir = "", sInput = "")
{

StdCreateProcessCOM needs COM Standard Library. You may remove this function from the script if you're not going to use it. And, please remove the script StdoutToVar.ahk from your post. You only need to post your own code. |

What is the difference between StdCreateProcess and StdCreateProcessCOM?
I am using an older version of the script and it works well. Are there any advantages of the update other than that I need to write fewer lines of code to use it? |

StadCreateProcessCOM uses COM. The update was not bug-fixing, was streamlining. So, you don't have to update it if you don't want to although it's recommended. |

That's maybe also a sign for potential lack of automation/automation market hole for making things easier.  (Like an .ahk solution which works as a posting template so anyone can fastly fill in the form or just leave them empty or very short limited info it you have less/no time.) See also my previous posting here: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=179089#179089
It's not only important to have solutions, it's also important to allow/make creative-use of these solutions breaking their initial application spaces. |

Streaming ability was added to StdCreateProcess(). If specify the parameter bStream to True it'll create a console window and display line-by-line the result, in addition to returning the result as a whole.

OK, I modified it to be Standard Library compatible, and to use the existing one if allowed when AHK is already attached to a console.

Hey, I just tried the new version and the Sort example doesn't work anymore. In fact, the AutoHotkey program is stopped before the function returns any value.
Sort example from this post:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=162878#162878
Thanks for your help.
Edit: My fault, please disregard. The parameters have changed in the new version. |

Sorry, I should've mentioned that. I updated the examples accordingly.
BTW, I usually don't change the parameters' order, however, I decided to do it in this case as I thought bStream would be used more frequently than sDir & sInput.
PS. I also updated the function StdoutToVar_CreateProcessCOM() in the script to accommodate the new bStream option. |
