Static Methods

static int Command(string aCommand)

Note

Command is executed with respect to the location the AFSIM application is running from, e.g. the scenario run/startup file location.

Examples:

System.Command("dir *.txt > files.txt");

# Write time and date to file
System.Command("time /T > date.txt");
System.Command("date /T >> date.txt");

# Read file and print to screen
FileIO dateFile = FileIO();
dateFile.Open("date.txt");
writeln(dateFile.Readln(), " ", dateFile.Readln());

string EnvironmentVariable(string aEnvVar)

Returns the value of an environment variable if one exists. If the variable does not exist, an empty string is returned.

double Time()
