Application builder: passing arguments to pre/post action VIs

[MimiKLM]

Hi,

Is there any chance to put the "command line" argument to the pre/post action VIs in the App Builder?

I'd like to put the build version number into it.

Hi MimiKLM,

You can call a command line script in a VI using the LabVIEW function Sytem Exec.vi.

Multiple commands can be used in one Sytem Exec call and the way to use this function is showing in the KB below:

“Execute Multiple Commands With One System Exec Call”:

Don’t hesitate to reply to my post if you have any other concerns.

Thank you.

As you are building within the LV environment, you have no command line to use (unless there is some batch building mode I missed).

However you could add controls to the Pre/Post build vis and program them as you would do with any other vi. You may also read parameters from a file.
