I am using AutoHotKey to build a simple GUI tool that uses the Sysinternals tool PSLoggedOn. First if I use
run psloggedon.exe -l -x \\computername
I don't get any output at all.
So I tried run %ComSpec% /C psloggedon.exe -l -x 1> %Temp%\psloggedon.txt
and that gives me the output in domain\username format for each user logged in.
Like my first example I would rather just run psloggedon and get the output instead of first opening a command prompt; is that possible somehow?
Either way I want to take the output and avoid writing it to a file, but instead edit the output from the output stream to remove the "domain\" part and then just return the username. How can this be done without any third-party software?
This answer to another question on Serverfault shows a way to do it by reading the StdoutRead. I too was looking at a way to avoid using a file but have decided it's actually the simplest option.
