Hi

You can use WshShell.Run method to run any command line utility and save its return value to variable

WshShell = Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell");

Result  = WshShell.Run("YourUtility.exe");

Here's more information about using this method http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d5fk67ky(v=VS.85).aspx

Hi,

I recommend that you also see the 'Testing Console Applications' help topic - it contains sample scripts:

// 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]");
}
