How to get text from CMD command output in AMS?

[Dansy]

Hello, I have been investigating in the forum but I have not found anything. I need to store in a variable the output of a command in CMD for example:

getmac or ipconfig / all. I understand that it can be done with the CommandLine plugin but I cannot find information about its use in "Plugin Help"

Thanks

This is what I have

data = CommandLine.Execute("getmac", 0);
Input.SetText("Input1", data)

You need no plugin for this.

local sCommand = "\"".._SystemFolder.."\\getmac.exe\"";
local tOutput = {};
for sLine in io.popen(sCommand):lines() do
   -- get the output and put each line into a table
   if (String.Length(String.TrimLeft(String.TrimRight(sLine))) > 0) then
      -- skip empty lines
      Table.Insert(tOutput, #tOutput + 1, String.TrimLeft(String.TrimRight(sLine)));
   end
end

-- show the output
local sOutput = "";
for i = 1, #tOutput do
   sOutput = sOutput .. "line " .. i .. ": " .. tOutput[i] .. "\r\n";
end
Dialog.Message("output", sOutput);

Hello thanks for the answer, I didn't know that there was an .exe but in case you want to extract it directly from a command? like "wmic path win32_computersystemproduct get uuid" which is not found as .exe in windows but can only be obtained by cmd

[Ulrich]

Try changing the first line of my sample code to

local sCommand = "wmic path win32_computersystemproduct get uuid";

and then execute the project.

wmic is also an executable, you find it in _SystemFolder\Wbem\wmic.exe, but as it is in the PATH environment variable, you can suppress the full path when calling it.

I am getting error. I'm sorry I'm very new, anyway this helps me a lot to advance in what I was doing

[Ulrich]

Compare your line 5 with my sample code, there is an extra space in your code.
