Command Line Arguments Return/Echo

[Benamou]

I am calling a standalone LabVIEW 7.0 based application from the command line passing in user arguments.  This works fine.  However, I would like to output status/strings back to the same command line window that the application was run from.  The best I could do was calling a batch file containing 'Echo' commands from 'System Exec' inside the app but this outputs the data in a new command line window, not the same as the one used to run the app.  Anyone know how to do this?

This post is the same issue but there was no resolution:

If you have a question and the answer you get does not resolve the problem, don't start a new thread. Just respond to the original thread.

System Exec.vi is not the same thing as C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe. Its more like the run in the start menu; it doesn't return a display like cmd.exe. That's probably why the other post did not have a resolution.

Vince,

So is there a way to do this by some other means?

This article Knowledge Base 2C7F28O9: Error 2 (Memory Full) When Using the System Exec VI is the closest I know of that may do what you are looking for. If this or any of its related links do not help than I do not believe that it is possible.
