Help with CMD.exe

[anthonyystwarty]

How do I run a program that is made in DOS? It seems simple, but I can't open it through robotask. Could you help me? I created a .bat to run it through RT, but I don't think it needs it:
Ex:
@echo off
cd "C:\Test\"
start test.exe

The command line to run some command through CMD.EXE is

Code: Select all

cmd.exe /c <some_comand_line>

To run the program without CMD you can use Run Program/Open Document action
look at my example below. Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
Also you can simply copy task text and paste it into the task list.
Then you can see it in task editor

Code: Select all
