Cmd.exe application modeller and extraction of output

[CamiCat]

Hi all,
I have some questiond to ask you kindly about cmd.exe.

1)how is it possible to start cmd.exe in the application modeller ?!
I tried to do that but cannot launch the application;
2) after runnning some commands, how is it possible to extract the data from the cmd ?

Thanks for any replies.
It would be very helpful from you.

Hi @mtabv

You do not need to model cmd.exe in the way you've described above. You should have an object in your library called 'Utility - Environment'. If not, then you can find the from the VBO folder within your Program Files/Blue Prism Limited location - simply install it.

There is an action within this object called 'Start Process'. All you need to do is fill in the inputs (i.e. cmd.exe) and the arguments you'd like to run against the Command Prompt. The 'Start Process' action works in the same way as the Windows / Run function does.

Let us know if this has solved your issue
