Hello All,

What would be the best way, if possible, to retrieve direct output (output stream?) from a command line operation? Just for example, I run the dir command to capture the total number of files in a directory. I currently have a batch script setup that will redirect the output value to a text file where I could retrieve it and then work it but Is there a way I could go directly to a Private Data Key with it somehow? No scripting here, just the core engine only. Maybe utilizing the "Attach as dataset" feature of Stdout that I haven't played around with yet, I'm not sure, as that seems to output to a text file as well according to the doc. If the output text file is the only way, how could I get the contents of that text file into a Private Data Key? Thank you!

I'd recommend trying the Run command app (https://www.enfocus.com/en/appstore/product/run-command) which has flow element properties which allow you to define Private data keys where the Standard output, Error output and Exit code will be written.

This worked nicely, thank you for the recommendation!
