New page

<pre>
RunCapture( <file>, <arguments>, <workdir>, <flag>, <function> )
</pre>

=== Description ===

Run a program in a hidden window and capture its printed output as strings.

=== Parameters ===

==== file ====

The name of the executable (EXE, BAT, COM, or PIF) to run.

==== arguments ====

The arguments to use.

==== workdir ====

The working directory.

==== flag ====

The "show" flag of the executed program:
<pre>
@SW_HIDE = Hidden window
@SW_MINIMIZE = Minimized window
@SW_MAXIMIZE = Maximized window
</pre>

Default runs the program normally.

==== function ====

A string to parse and execute as Sputnik code (usually a function call)

=== Return Value ===

Success: The PID of the process that was launched.

Failure: 0.

=== Remarks ===

After running the requested program the script continues and you probably wont get any captured information.

You should create a loop to watch and wait for the process to end and use DoEvents so you can capture all the text see example below.

=== Example ===

<syntaxhighlight lang="sputnik">
my $PID = RunCapture(@SYSDIR . @"\ping.exe", "www.yahoo.com", "", @SW_HIDE, 'Capture($arg);');
while(ProcessExists($PID))
{
DoEvents();
}
Function Capture( $arg )
{
println("Captured: " . $arg);
}
</syntaxhighlight>
