Get the output of a cmd command

[Tagor]

Is there a way to get the output of a CMD command? For example the output of "date".

Thanks, but isn't it possible to read the information in a var. directly?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yes, but currently only with the 3.1.0++ version posted by JPM, as mentioned by dok_do ...

Yes, with the beta. I've been using it quite a lot. Don't know whether you can do it with batch or not.

I tried but was unsuccesfull at getting it to read from the cmd and send it back out to another app that was supposed to be reading from stdin. Could somebody give a working example jsut in case i messed it up somehow.

I need it to read the running cmd window and echo it back out to another app that it trying to read that info. I hope that makes since.

The latest barts pe does not allow at all for redirecting to another app to do after build but before creating the cd clean up and stuff. So I created a wrapper that calls my cleaning scripts. But I would still like to redirect output back to barts pe for it to parse.

This commandline program here, sends the output to clipboard.

cb is a simple command-line program to send input to the clipboard. It comes most useful when trying to capture the output from another program.

For example:

if you execute `dir /b /on | cb' the contents of the current directory will be copied to the clipboard

Note: The format to send the ouput of one program to another program is:

`prog1 | prog2'.

thank you for that but I dont think the other app reads from the clipboard. All that is needed here is a simple pipe that pipes all the stuff from stdin to stdout.
