Get console window text
#1
Member function str.GetConsoleText. Create it using menu File -> New -> New Member Function.
Code:
Copy      Help
;/
function# [hwnd] [firstline] [nlines]

;Gets text of a console window.
;Returns total number of lines. On failure returns 0.
;Requires Windows XP or later, and QM 2.2.0 or later.


;An example of console window is Windows command prompt.
;Alternatively can be used RunConsole, which runs the program and gets its output.
;Other functions (getwintext, acc, etc) cannot get console window text.


;hwnd - console window handle. If omitted or 0, uses first found console window.
;firstline - 0-based index of first line to get. Default: 0. If firstline >= total number of lines, the function will succeed but the str variable will be empty.
;nlines - number of lines to get. Default: to the end. If firstline+nlines > total number of lines, the function will succeed and get all lines until the end.


;EXAMPLE
;str s
;if(!s.GetConsoleText(0)) ret
;out s



fix(0)
if(!hwnd) hwnd=win("" "ConsoleWindowClass"); if(!hwnd) ret
if(!GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd &_i)) ret
