What doesn't work? Please be more specific.

You can use "Loop, FilePattern" to get a list of files/folders. This nicer then getting the outout of "dir" ,e.g. with cb.exe. Have look at the manual.

One problem is the lack of a "return" at the end of your "ButtonOK" subroutine. Without the return, execution "falls through" into the GuiClose label, which exits the script instantly when you press the OK button.

I'm trying something simple to learn ahk.
I don't know how to assign a value to a variable name, and then
add that value to the command line if Checkbox is checked.
In this case, I want the value of "lopt" to be "-l",
and the value of "Ropt" to be "-R".

this currently does not work.
Code:

Gui, Add, Radio, vlsit, ls
Gui, Add, Checkbox, vlopt, -l
Gui, Add, Checkbox, vRopt, -R
Gui, Add, Button, ,OK
Return

ButtonOK:
Gui, Submit

if lsit=1
  {
  FileSelectFile, out1,,,"Choose output file",*.txt
    GuiControlGet, lopt1
    GuiControlGet, Ropt1
  RunWait, C:\pathto\ls.exe %lopt% %Ropt%  > %out1%.txt
  }
else
  {
  RunWait, C:\pathto\ls.exe  > %out1%.txt
  }
GuiClose:
GuiEscape:
ExitApp

Gui, Add, Radio, vlsit, ls
Gui, Add, Checkbox, vlopt, -l
Gui, Add, Checkbox, vRopt, -R
Gui, Add, Button, ,OK
Gui, Show, w120 h100, test  ; show the GUI window
Return

ButtonOK:
Gui, Submit, NoHide ; Remove NoHide if you want to hide the GUI here

if lsit=1
  {
  FileSelectFile, out1,,,"Choose output file",*.txt

    ; The GuiControlGet lines are not necessary since Gui, Submit was used
    ; GuiControlGet, lopt1
    ; GuiControlGet, Ropt1

  ; since lopt & Ropt return 1 or 0 not -l or -R we need to use additional variables
  if lopt = 1
    {
    lopt1 = -l
    }
  else
    {
    lopt1 =
    }

  if Ropt = 1
    {
    Ropt1 = -R
    }
  else
    {
    Ropt1 =
    }
 
  MsgBox, C:\pathto\ls.exe %lopt1% %Ropt1%  > %out1%.txt ; change MsgBox back to RunWait
  }
else
  {
  MsgBox, C:\pathto\ls.exe  > %out1%.txt ; change MsgBox back to RunWait
  }

; remove the Return line if you want to exit the app after pressing Ok

wow, thanks corrupt. exactly what was needed. the extra if statements is what I couldn't figure out for some reason, and now i see it makes total sense.

And now for something else.
I've read through the "Gui Add" section of the manual, but the placement of variables, along with xywh coordinates, is a little unclear
( Add, ControlType [, Options, Text] ).
I want to combine these two lines into one line. Where is vMyvar placed?

Gui, Add, Radio, x26 y27 w60 h30, Label
Gui, Add, Radio, vMyvar, Label

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear that it made sense to you Smile.

Is it possible to redirect the output of a command line (stdout) to an editbox, or some other text box
like Gui, Add, Edit, vMainEdit x200 y200 ?

For a simple example, is it possible to redirect the output of:
Run, %comspec% /c dir, C:\My Documents

so that the output is displayed in an text or editbox, NOT in a MsgBox?
The idea is to make a simple gui that emulates a terminal, that would output stdout to the edit area, and then also to have the option to save the output to a file.

Olaf, you may not have heard of it, but I've already made a script like that! Here it is. I made it to be extensible, and it shouldn't be hard to add saving abilities to it. Actually, I could add it for you if you want. Some of the links in that post might be old, so tell me if you can't get gclip and I'll point you to a fresher link.

To use DOS's redirection doesn't make sense to you?

Run, %COMSPEC% /K dir C:\*.dir > MyCDriveIndex.txt

1) saves to a file
2) output is easy to edit (ie Notepad)
3) combined with "tail -f" you've a "terminal" in place.

Bobo, I already have that in a script. I'm finding that I don't want to have to always save the output to a file, and then delete it afterwards. I know I could put a line at the end like FileDelete, MyCDriveIndex.txt, but rather have the output displayed in a text type or edit type box, and then have an option to save to a text file or otherwise quit.

jonny, thanks for the link, I'll check them out.
p.s. where do i find gclip?

You can get it at http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/. There are a lot of other nice utilities in the package provided there, but if you're interested in them, you'd probably like http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ more. It has more and newer utilities, but unfortunately does not include gclip or pclip.

I think I'll try to find a work around. I could not find the source for gclip or pclip in the repository, and would rather work with something that is being maintained. unx looks defunx

basic question but i can't seem to get it right.

How do you assign text typed in an edit box to a variable.
i.e. if I have:
Gui, Add, Edit, vtextbox

I want to assign whatever is typed there into it's own variable.
I believe it's either GuiControl or GuiControlGet, and I've tried both, so
I'm writing it wrong.
