I played with this stuff for a few more hours. The problem I'm having is that the dedicated server console always opens in a new prompt when I start the server, so anything I try to change the input/output for only changes for the prompt that I executed the server from, which is not the newly created prompt with the echoes. frown

Someone else has suggested telnet to me, and I may be getting somewhere with that, as Tribes1 has a telnet plugin I've installed.

Really have appreciated the help I've gotten. Want to appollogize to FiberOptics, my intent was to use the prompt reading for more than just game servers, so I wanted a solution that worked with anything that echoes to cmd.exe, which I now see is not the way to handle that when using mIRC scripting.

I'll post again and let you all know how telnet is going, so far I've been able to read general messages from the dedicated server, and it looks like I can edit the telnet code to return everything else I need.
