    Hi Robert,

     

    Thanks for the suggestion.

     

    I have got the problem resolved. I was using the StdOut.ReadAll() to get the console output.

You've already stated the key problem... you can see it on the console.  so, you would need to write code in TestComplete to scrape the screen of the console to grab the information.  Alternatively, you could have Powershell output the information to a file that can then be read by TestComplete.  But that's really the key... you need to code TestComplete to find the information.
