This has been asked before on mathgroup, and someone answered (in the affirmative) as follows: log=ReadList["!"<>code,Record]; where code is a string giving the name of your DOS command file or executable. The symbol log will contain the output of your external command. The exclamation mark prepended to the name of the command causes the operating system to run the command, then the ReadList captures the output (that would normally be written to a DOS "CMD" window). christopherpurcell at mac.com On Apr 20, 2006, at 6:14 AM, jason.s.turner at gmail.com wrote: > Hi, I'm trying to execute Mathematica (5.2 on Windows) from the > command > line via another program, but I'm having a hard time finding a way > that > would just run a command, then exit.
