madexceptpatch output "quirk"

[benoitk]

Just a little annoying quirk :)

madexceptpatch (and maybe others command line tools) does not like output redirections; consider:

Code: Select all

c:\program files\madcollection\madexcept\tools\madexceptpatch.exe > patch_help.txt

the command output will be truncated to the first 1280 characters, and thus stop at

7 = please

The same goes when madexceptpatch is run to patch a binary from a script (bat file, python script,...) , output is truncated

No *.mes file found for this project.
Default settings loaded from registry.
Unit initialization order patched.
Settings stor

After very little investigation in madexceptpatcher.pas, the problem may lie in the windows api used.

Thanks

I'm using normal Delphi functions for outputting to the console, namely WriteLn. If that doesn't work correctly, then it must be Delphi bug or a win32 bug. I don't think there's much I can do here...
