Additional Information
As an example, if you wanted to run the Command Prompt from TestStand to ping "ni.com", you would need to select the file path for the cmd.exe file on your computer and then enter the following string into the Argument Expression field:
"/c ping " + "\"" + " ni.com"Note that we include the character combination
"\"" in between the ping command and
"ni.com" to indicate that
"ni.com" is an argument for the ping command itself.
Upon running this Call Executable step, TestStand will open the Command Prompt and ping ni.com.
Note: TestStand is not able to control or take actions in third party applications called by this step.
