Re: Trying to write some data to a file using Active link runprocess
That's great. I am currently doing this: %ComSpec% /c Echo DIAL $Caller ID$ C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\MyAppName\commandfile.txt Which works. I now ideally would like to make a file of the format: CommandFiledatetimestamp.txt Would this be possible? I think some of the date time stamp characters may be illegal in a filename (environment is the client so Windows). Anyone know how to create a filename out of date or time stamp type variables in Remedy - so I can put in the Run Process command line field?

Re: Trying to write some data to a file using Active link runprocess
This should be doableI've done similar things. It appears you are using Windows - you may want to try calling a batch file with Run Process and passing the info from Remedy as parameters. If your run process is something like this: Myjob.bat $field1$ $field2$ etc. ...you reference the parameters in the batch file as %1, %2, etc...so in the batch file you'd just put: %1 c:\mytextfile.txt There may be a little more to it than that but essentially it's doable. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Angus Comber Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 12:16 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Trying to write some data to a file using Active link runprocess Hello I would like to use an active link runprocess to write data to a text file.
