Output message in command prompt

[jyang72211]

I would like to run my LabVIEW EXE in command prompt.  After the execution of the EXE is done, I want it to output some speciific message in command prompt.  How do I do that?

What exactly is it that you are trying to accomplish?

You can certainly call a LabVIEW-built executable from a command line, but the executable can not natively return something when it finishes.

Try this VI, build an exe, and run it. The application will open another command window however. I could not figure out a way yet how to output values to the very same command prompt...

or maybe here you find a trick:

Can you write a batch file to run LabVIEW, and display a message when LabVIEW exits ?

This way you can display the message in the same DOS window.
