in reply to Re: Execute wmic command in cmd
in thread Execute wmic command in cmd

Tnx for the reply. I dont think we understand....maybe i confuse u with that telling you "is like telent". So i will try explain again. The first command when i execute is like this:

C:\Users\mypc\Desktop\Perl>wmic
wmic:root\cli>

[download]

so as you can see wmic command is execute and i got the "wmic:root\cli>" prompt and here i have to execute the "diskdrive get status" command that will show me if the disk is ok or not. Here is how it looks like all the procedure .... 

C:\Users\mypc\Desktop\Perl>wmic
wmic:root\cli>diskdrive get status
Status
OK

wmic:root\cli>

    You can do it that way. (Ie. interactive mode.)

    But, you can also do it all in one go: wmic diskdrive get status as I showed above. (Try it it on your command line. )

    And the second way is the easiest way to do it from a program. (Again; try the code I posted for yourself.)

    It is not just the easiest way. Trying to use the interactive mode from within a Perl program is (almost) impossible.

    mvib:

    As you can see below, you can either use wmic interactively ("like telnet") or as a simple command-line driven program.

    H:\>wmic
wmic:root\cli>diskdrive get status
Status
OK

wmic:root\cli>quit

H:\>wmic diskdrive get status
Status
OK
