RunConsoleCommand output?

[jackwilsdon]

Is it possible to get the output of RunConsoleCommand? RunConsoleCommand itself has no return value (according to the Wiki), so is there an alternative?

Where do you plan to use this?

I'd like to be able to get the filename of the latest screenshot taken using the "jpeg" command. I know I could just look for the filename with the highest number / newest date, but I'd prefer to do it in a cleaner way by parsing the jpeg command's output.

I don't know of anyway to do it with RunConsoleCommand. Are you going to use this to display it or what?
Edit: It takes an optional argument for file name: [URL="http://www.gamerconfig.eu/command/garrys-mod/jpeg/"]jpeg[/URL] // Take a jpeg screenshot: jpeg <filename> <quality 1-100>.

This will be for private use, I am trying something out.

I will most likely be uploading it to a remote server somewhere.

[url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/render/Capture[/url] Might also work but you would have to rename it to .jpeg when you get it there.

I've tried that before, but seeing as that provides raw pixels, each being 3 bytes. On larger screens, with no compression, this is MASSIVE, and is not a real format.

Then I would suggest running the command with the name argument.

local namevar = "example.jpeg"
RunConsoleCommand("jpeg",namevar)

EDIT: namevar will need to change each time

The user would be pressing a button first, I'm not just going to spy on whatever they're doing (at like 0.1 fps too)
