How to capture standard output from a system command and use as bot’s reply
  
 
Posted: Jan 15, 2018

I’ve got some DOS utilities that I can call from ChatScript, and I see their text reply. But the ChatScript bot replies 0 for the return status. Is there a way to incorporate that ^system command’s response as the bot’s output? I could route it to a file and use import? Any tips appreciated.

Thanks,

Robby.
