Rif.: Command line arguemts expansion at run time

[Ranjeet_Singh]

Hi GerdW,

                     I came to know using batch command I can repeat the same command without initialization. -b is the command 

I dont know how to do this?

Here is what I tried. When I tried this then it says error 87 LabVIEW:  Error converting to variant.

What is wrong with that?

When I use command

C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\Programmer Utilities\ICD3\ICD3CMD -b -p18f26k22 -v5 -e -m -f"D:\hex_file.hex"

from command prompt then it is working reliabely. But when I am passing through system exec then there is no error but no message also comes out.

Hi GerdW,

                     I am able to program but now I am facing some problem

1. When I set wait until true then output will be available only after completion or when user stops the application

2. If I set wait until complete false then output comes parallly in command prompt but not availbe in labview standard output.

This is as mentioned by help page but I need to display the message in labview standard output parallely.

How to acheive this?

Hi Ranjeet,

  maybe this thread can help you.

[Ranjeet_Singh]

This is what I was looking for but how to do this?

[pincpanter]

It's written in the thread's solution. Did you read it?

I guess you are able to read a text file by code.

[Ranjeet_Singh]

I read it. but my doubt was if I want to create the installer for this application then I need to enter IP address for all the PCs. 

Will ping<IP ADD> A.txt will read all the data of file A.txt. What will be path of text file and from where I need to call this PING?

Do you have any example for that?

[pincpanter]

Your interpretation is too literal. PING was only an example of a command line application generating text to the standard output.

Replace PING with your ICD3CMD utility with the proper command line. Try redirecting its output to a file manually from the command prompt.

If it works this way, you will be able to implement standard output catching by code.

[Ranjeet_Singh]

I though you already tried this..Will try this

[Ranjeet_Singh]

I tried but unfortunately this is not working

C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\Programmer Utilities\ICD3\ICD3CMD -b -p18f45k22 -v5 -e -m -f"D:2003.hex" > D:\path1.txt

I googled about redirecting and they say > is the command but not succedded.
