Is there a way I can determine my success criteria on the output txt of a cmd command?

I would like to verify the last line of the txt file created = “Exiting with code:0”

waithidden cmd.exe /c __download\filename.vbs > output.txt

If you run it from the command line, it displays the message “Exiting with code:0”?

You can run the command like you wrote it and then add a line:

continue if {line of file “output.txt” = “Exiting with code:0”}

(make sure the spaces and case of the message is correct).

Thanks Ben.

I want this to be part of the success criteria as this is then only command this task will run. Do I need to add the line number as follows?

{line 32 of file “output.txt” = “Exiting with code:0”}

You can do that. You might also change the VB script to set a success flag on completion that’s easier to access, like a registry key.

In 8.0 you will be able to branch based on exit codes in action script.
