Callng system processes

Is there a way of calling a system process, or executable command, from Flowbotics (in a similar way to Runtime.exec [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][highlight=#ffffff]in Java[/highlight][/font])?

Actually I would like to call Java commands from Flowbotics.

Hi,

FlowBotics Studio allows you to use a shell execute component to execute anything you wish on your system. We have attached below a image display the basic components required and an example project.

Also, if you wish to have bi-directional communication between FlowBotics Studio and another process (in any language / platform), you could always keep it very simple and use a virtual serial port pair, such as with these free software:

  1. com0com.sourceforge.net/
  2. eterlogic.com/Products.VSPE.html

Hope this helps!
