Command line output

Post by MusicMan74 »

Hello,

Is it possible to retrieve the standard output from a command line exe?

i.e.

variable = !Execute ["c:\this_app_returns_a_string.exe argument1"]


Thanks,

Greg

Yes it is.

Just be aware of the needs of the program in question as to whether or not there is a "/" before the additional command set.
Some programs do not require this older command line attribute
