I have used reader stage and in reader stage, i have choosed 'read text with ocr' I am able to read text from command prompt but issue is in command prompt text is present in 2 lines like 'IP addr: XXXX Subnet mask:XXX' But I am getting this in single line. I want output in 2 lines as it is in command prompt. Please help with any suggestion

Hi I'm afraid Read Text with OCR cannot read the newline character. One possible way is that if you know the second line's starting charcters such as ""Subnet"", you can break the text line into two lines using String functions. Hope this helps.

There are multiple ways you can do this. You might be able to do this straight away: Using business object - 'Utility - Strings' Action - 'Split Lines'. This will create a collection from a text. You might need to a save log from command prompt first. Also you can look for spaces and for fixed length or for specific words using InStr(

You may use your commands with Clip , like ipconfig | Clip - this will put the output of command prompt on Clipboard, then you can use Get Clipboard action of Environment Utility to store it in a variable. Regards, Neelima
