Running multiple commands from labview in comandline

[ranzinger]

Hello, 

i want to run a programm on labview, that communicates with the comandline. First of all it should open Powershell which is possible by using a System Exec vi and the cmd /c command.

After that i want to run another command in the same comandline which is connected to the powershell. How do i combine these two commands?

Another solution would be connecting to the powershell directly instead of opening the comandline at all, so i can input the command directly to the powershell.

A third solution would be, to combine those two commands (hoping into the powershell and coding without pressing enter).

I do not know how to implement this in labview.

There's this : Execute Multiple Commands With One System Exec Call in LabVIEW - NI

But you might need to use a pipe. That's where it get's complicated...

How about using .NET:

System.Management.Automation.PowerShell.Create();

That usually complicates things...

Hi ranzinger,

the 4th option would be to create a batch file (with all needed commands) and just execute that…

Thanks for the answer, what do you mean with using the.Net function?

System.Management.Automation.PowerShell.Create();

Or in LabVIEW:
