- Added Stdout() to output to a created console output,appending every subsequent output to console...
Added Stdin() to accept input from console to var...
This is method seldom used to display script output for reasons beyond me,with most people deferring to MsgBox,ToolTip & TrayTip commands or Gui's to display output, TBH i've really only ever seen it used from a script by Lexikos which is where i picked up the idea from... Thought i'd share it, if anything so that people use that builtin GUI for something... Cheers...
Code: Select all
Print("Hello World")
Loop, 100
PrintDebug(A_Index)
MsgBox
PrintDebug() ;clear debug output...
MsgBox
PrintDebug("A new debug session...")
MsgBox
Print(string){
ListVars
WinWait ahk_id %A_ScriptHwnd%
ControlSetText Edit1, %string%
WinWaitClose
}
PrintDebug(string:=""){
Static
string := string ? string . "`r`n" . lastStr : "", lastStr := string
If !WinActive("ahk_class AutoHotkey"){
ListVars
WinWait ahk_id %A_ScriptHwnd%
WinGetTitle, title, ahk_id %A_ScriptHwnd%
}Else If !string{
PostMessage, 0x112, 0xF060,,, %title% ; 0x112 = WM_SYSCOMMAND, 0xF060 = SC_CLOSE
Return
}
ControlSetText Edit1, %string%, ahk_id %A_ScriptHwnd%
}
Stdout() below basically lets output directly to console,without running the script with a | more pipe or even running it from a console, allowing use of console just as any MsgBox,ToolTip & TrayTip commands or Gui's to display output...
StdIn() accepts console input to var...
As per wolf_II's suggestion Stdout is compatible with SciTE, though Stdin is not as i don't know how to read from SciTE console...
Updated: Fixed to work with scripts being run from console,i.e output to console being run on, StdIn may have some issues though with intermittent gafs when accepting input from existing console, cause unkown.
