Capture text from cmd window

[rullbandspelare]

Hi!
I am trying to capture the text in a cmd window running fullscreen on a XP machine.

I have tried :

Code: Select all

GetTextInit

GetWindowText>C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe,CMDText

GetControlText>C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe,ConsoleWindowClass,1,CMDText

GetControlText>C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe,ConsoleWindowClass,1,CMDText

GetTextInRect>0,0,200,400,CMDText

Non of theese work in fullscreen and only the last one works in windowed mode.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I never had much luck getting text from a DOS prompt. I always used to pipe the data out to a text file then read that file.

eg Run>CMD /c Ping Localhost > C:\temp\pingresults.txt

Using the text capture wizard, this worked for me.

Code: Select all

GetTextInit
GetWindowTextEx>Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe,result
MDL>%result%

This works indeed on a DOS window on a XP machine. BUT, it does not work if You put the DOS window in fullscreen = pressing Alt + Enter
In this case it is an old program running in DOS , not a command line output.

Code: Select all

GetTextInit
GetWindowTextEx>C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe,result
MDL>%result%
