The Bot Velocity Command Prompt Activities package provides five specialized activities for executing CMD commands and retrieving command prompt console output within UiPath.

Execute Single Command Activity: Executes a single command in a new CMD session and retrieves the console output. The activity accepts inputs for:

• Command (String)
• Start Directory (String)
• Single Line Output (Boolean) - When True, returns only specific command output; when False, returns entire console output. The activity outputs the Command Output as a string.

Open Command Prompt Activity: Opens a new CMD session and returns the session process for use in subsequent activities. It accepts a Start Directory input parameter and outputs the CMD Process, which is essential for other activities in the package.

Execute Command Activity: Executes commands within an existing CMD session, ideal for running multiple commands sequentially. It requires:

• CMD Process (from Open Command Prompt)
• Command (String) to execute

Close Command Activity: Cleanly terminates the command prompt session after command execution. It requires the CMD Process as input to ensure proper process closure.

Get Console Output Activity: Retrieves the complete console output from all executed commands in the session. It takes the CMD Process as input and returns the Command Output as a string containing all console output from the session.

• Execute Windows CMD commands in the background without displaying the command prompt console
• Direct string output retrieval without requiring screen scraping methods
• Flexibility to execute single or multiple commands in the same CMD session
• Clean process management with dedicated open and close activities
• Ability to specify starting directory for command execution
• Option to retrieve either specific command output or complete console output
