Command Output

Opto_Will

Hopefully this will be a quick one pointing me in the right direction.

I am trying to programatically run some OI commands that I might normally run from the System Editor Command Line.
Specifically, in this case 'List_Index'. However, I can't seem to grab the output, certainly not from a return value or status. I know it is working because when I run it via the SRP Command Line in the SRP Editor I can see the output I want in the Status Window. I am wanting to capture that array.

{Note: I have already worked around this by using the stored information in SysColumns but thought it would more efficient and cleaner if I can use a tool already built for that purpose}

So how does one capture the output from those commands?

Open the viewer then run the command

you might need to do list_index in OI TCL to get a formated response.

I am ashamed to say I have never actually used the Viewer before! Probably read about it / forgot about it. Handy though.

What I am after though is intercepting that output so I can store it in an Array from within the procedure it is called from.

Maybe LIST_INDEX is using Send_Info to produce it's data, so you might have to set an edit field somewhere to be the recipient of Send_Info calls.

We need an OI command version of this:

RECEIVER makes sense. That gives me a path to go down.
I am guessing this is effectively what the SRP Editor is doing with its Status window?

Thank you Gentlemen.
