Hi, Does anyone know how to run .bat file using ‘invoke powershell’ activity?

You can run a bat-file with Invoke Powershell like this: cmd /c hello.bat Make sure that the option IsScript is checked. [image] [image]

Hi, or you can try Start Process Activity?

I was able to run the .bat file using cmd prompt. But I want to use ‘invoke power shell’ activity since it runs the script behind the scenes. Is this achievable?

Can you tell both the ways, on how you are doing it?

@ptrobt - Thank you, I worked, but the output is of data type "System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection`1[System.String]. How do you convert that into string? I took an index of (1) of my output variable and it worked, but I wanted to know, how you would handle it.

You could use a For Each loop to get all the output lines. Or you could use String.Join() to join them to a single string: strOutput = String.Join(Environment.NewLine, resultPS) where resultPS is the output variable from the Invoke Power Shell activity.

Do you want to directly call the bat file or the Code in the Invoke Bat file
