    Hello Stephanie,





    You can use the second approach from the mentioned article. The code below executes the ipconfig command and posts the contents of the command prompt window to the test log line by line:







      var p, w, txt, cnt, i, s;

      p = Sys.Process("cmd");

      w = p.Window("ConsoleWindowClass", "*");

      w.Keys("ipconfig [Enter]");

      txt = w.wText;

      aqString.ListSeparator = "\r\n";

      cnt = aqString.GetListLength(txt);

      for (i = 0; i < cnt; i++)

      {

        s = aqString.GetListItem(txt, i);

        Log.Message(s);

      }

// above method worked but I had find all cmd processes since I had multiple cmd processes running in my system
function executeCmd(){
          Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run("C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe");
          var obj = Sys.FindAll("ProcessName","cmd",2).toArray();
          Log.Message("Total number of cmd processes in my system"+obj.length);
         p = Sys.FindChild("Name", 'Process("cmd",'+(parseInt(obj.length)+1)+')')
         w=p.Window("ConsoleWindowClass","*");
         w.Keys("dir [Enter]");
}
