Hey Rob,

 

To return a value, you use a ‘Set Field’ action with the $PROCESS$ key word rather than the ‘Run Process’ action.  Create a Set Field and read value from CURRENT TRANSACTION.  Then choose the field, and from the Value menu choose PROCESS and then add the process string.  The resulting value will look like:

 

$PROCESS$ <process command>

 

For example, I made a set field with a process in a filter on a unix server, with the value as:

 

$PROCESS$ ls

 

And my return value was, indeed, a listing of the root directory contents…

Subject: How do I get the "Run Process" to return a value and enter it into a field?

 

ARS 6.3
 
I have a filter trigger a "Run Process", I have seen statements that the workflow can wait for a value to return (in our case 1-2 seconds).  And ideas on how I can retrieve this value?
 
Thanks,
 
Rob
