Get result from System.Execute

[moryoav]

I'm using eg.plugins.System.Execute in a python script to perform some dos command (schtasks.exe /query - to get a list of running tasks). Now, I want to take the result of that command and parse it. How do I get an output from System.Execute and save it in a python variable? Any creative way of doing it?
I thought of doing " > temp.tmp" at the end to save the output to a file, I guess it's a possibility, just looking for a more elegant way of doing it, if it's possible.


Thanks.

I think that you can not use the normal eg.plugins.System.Execute action.
It will be necessary to use the Python Script action.
For example, the following:

Code: Select all

eg.result = None
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, STDOUT, SW_HIDE
def popen(cmd):
    proc = Popen(cmd.split(),stdout = PIPE,stderr = STDOUT,creationflags = SW_HIDE, shell = True)
    data = proc.communicate()[0]
    return (proc.returncode, data)
ret, data = popen("call chcp") #DOS console codepage
if not ret:
    cp = "cp" + data.split()[-1]
    ret, data = popen("schtasks.exe /query")
    if not ret:
        eg.result = data.decode(cp)

It is obviously not necessary to use eg.result.
