PureBasic Forums - English

I used RunProgram to perform a Ping operation, but the Replys did not show up in the redirect to file. I was wondering if there is a simple technique for capturing everything on the console screen to an area of memory or to a file when performing a RunProgram..

There is a way, but unfortunately i don't know it.

But maybe you want to use a PB routine, instead of calling the external
ping command.

have a look here:

Thanks, Time. I grabbed the code at the link youprovided. But actually, I'm isomewhat interested in how to make the Console feature more robust. O seem some Windows APIs for Console, but hard to say if any of that can work within the pureBasic environment. I just figured someone would have played around with it a bit and could share some experience and code.

Sounds like you want to capture the actual text output? This worked for me:
