Catch the output of PLINK.exe (PUTTY)

[highend]

Maybe because of that. I have 850. PeterH, your codepage is?

Edit: Yes, that seems to be the reason...

When I execute it from a system with CP 437 -> No output
Switching back to 850 + restart -> Works

It seems it is not related only to plink. This doesn't provide anything either:

text runret("cmd /c chcp", <curpath>);

These give the active codepage correctly:

Code: Select all

run "cmd /k chcp", <curpath>;

Code: Select all

run "cmd /c chcp >result.txt", <curpath>;

I have no choice but:

Works fine on a german system with CP 850

Codepage 852, doesn't work either.

Ha, love it!

Gonna check that codepage issue...

Sad to say: my CP is 850

[PeterH]

And also sad to say: not better with v0010.

By the way: the reason can't be the color codes: if I execute "help" no color codes are returned, but runret() still returns "".

[LittleBiG]

text runret... is still empty. :-(

PeterH, have you tried the simple

Code: Select all

text runret("cmd /c chcp", <curpath>);

without any Linux involved?

Missed that one (here an emoticon for sleeping, instead: )

You are right: returns "".
It seems Don sees this, too?

Next beta try this, it will return a hex dump of the raw data in the pipe:

Code: Select all

text runret("cmd /c chcp", , 1);

[highend]

With the wrong codepage (437) it still returns nothing...

Code: Select all

text quote(runret("cmd /c chcp", , 1));

While on 850 it works fine:

Well, at least I know now that my own code is not the culprit. Either it's a somehow wrong API call, or Windows itself has an issue here. Needs deeper research. After the weekend...

[LittleBiG]

Code: Select all

text runret("cmd /c chcp", , 1);

gave back nothing. Not even "". DOS Codepage 852 (OEM Latin II).

[highend]

Not even ""

Without quote()? xD

yes, without. :-)
