The following code works but when it displays the serial number every digit has space in between. /////////// run("wmic bios get serialnumber > c:\temp\serial_no.txt") f = new file() f.open("c:\temp\serial_no.txt") mserial_head = f.gets()                        // first line in text file is heading "Serial number" mserial_no = f.gets() f.close() clear ? mserial_head ? mserial_no ///////// Ken Mayer Wrote: > On 4/19/2024 10:14 AM, RACHHPAL S GILL wrote: > > Thanks Akshat > > The command works but could not find serial.txt file > > Try adding a full path to the file: > > // if you have a folder on the C: drive named "temp", for example: > runhidden("wmic bios get serialnumber > c:\temp\serial.txt") > > // and change that here, as well in Akshat's code: > f.open("c:\temp\serial.txt") > > Ken > > -- > *Ken Mayer* > Ken's dBASE Page: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase > The dUFLP: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/index.htm#duflp > dBASE Books: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/Books/dBASEBooks.htm > dBASE Tutorial: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/Tutorial/00_Preface.htm > dBASE Web Tutorial: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/WebTutorial/00_Menu.htm > dBASE DOS to Windows Tutorial: > http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/DtoWTutorial/00_Menu.htm >
