Rif.: Live update of command prompt

[peper2001]

HI,

I'm creating an executable whose purpose and to make the creation of a winPE bootable USB key easier.

In order to create the key, i need to run several commands with the systemexec.vi. Many of these command take ages to finish so i need to know if the command is still running or not.

What would be great is to have a live update of the command prompt. I guess there should be a way to insert the command prompt in a subpanel or another container?

Best regards

Hi

yes you can : function -> Connectivite -> librairy -> Cmd system

I think this is what you are looking for. Tell me if it's ok.

EDIT : I'm bad... it's not live. I keep searching

Hi,

thanks for asnwering.

Yes, what you explain is how to run a command with labview.

This works great but all i can see is a black screen while i want to have what the command returns in live. For the moment, i can just have the standard output of the command once it has finished and not in live.

Try redirecting the standard output to a file, like in this example:

ping 192.168.0.46 > out.txt

If your utility supports redirection, you can read the file content from time to time.

Beware to choose a working directory where your user has write permissions.
