I have had the output of ipconfig /all dumped to a field with no problems.. Are you using the $PROCESS$ action of a set field to dump the value?

After further testing I realized that it stopped writing to the file once it reached the first space. That tells me that it doesn't treat the character field as a single input parameter, but rather looks at spaces as a delimiter between multiple input parameters. I'm debating whether to create a loop inside the batch file that reads all input parameters and reconstructs the file. - mark ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 4:01 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Write a Field Value to File Make the character field as a multi-line field.. that might work.
