How to read text in command prompt using QTP

[Sourabh146]

Hi,

I am trying to perform some operations using command prompt. I am able to write something on command prompt but unable to fetch the output text from the command prompt. I had tried with GetVisibleText property for a window but its giving just the title of that window instead to the body.
Please suggest any alternative to fetch text from window(Command Prompt).

Thanks.

you may try this approach

Code:

Set screen = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Exec("%COMSPEC% /c date /t")
Do While screen.Status = 0
  WScript.Sleep 100
Loop
WScript.Echo screen.StdOut.ReadAll
