How do I access command prompt from Unity
I need to access command prompt to send it a command for phamtomJS to run a javascript file. So I need to tell command prompt to send this command at a certain point in the game and I'm not sure how I would have unity access command prompt to do this. I hope that was not too confusing. Any help would be great. Thanks

Hi, if i understand what you need, you could try this:
void Start()
{
string strCmdText;
strCmdText= "/C notepad"; //This command to open a new notepad
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe",strCmdText); //Start cmd process
}
Thank you very much. So far that seems to work very well. You saved me alot of searching. Thanks again.

I'm using almost the same Method, it works in Play Mode. But when I build my Project this will not gone work. Anybody had a similar Problem? I would be so grateful for that
void Start()
{
string strCmdText;
strCmdText = "ykush3 -u " + Port.ToString(); //This command to open a new notepad
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(ApplicationPath + "\\hubControl\\ykushcmd.exe", strCmdText); //Start cmd process
}
Wild guess. When your app is built. that is then the wrong path
Yeah you‘re Right. I used to change the hubControl path inside my Strea$$anonymous$$gAssetss Path. And it did work ;) That was a long time ago! But thank you :)
void Start() { string strCmdText; strCmdText = "ykush3 -u " + Port.ToString(); //This command to open a new notepad System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(ApplicationPath + "\\Strea$$anonymous$$gAssests\\hubControl\\ykushcmd.exe", strCmdText); //Start cmd process }
Your answer
