How to get get text output from Run Program () into a data table?

[#1]

I use an executable which pulls data from the database, does some data manipulation and makes manipulated data available to the end user. I would like to call this executable from within JMP and get the data into a data table. The following script example generates the data as text in the log. How do I get this text into a data table with the top row as column headers?

Names Default To Here (1);
Clear Log ();

rp = RunProgram( 
               Executable( "C:\dataFetchCmd\dataFetchCmd.exe" ),
               //Options(),
			   ReadFunction("text");
);

Depends what you get back from run program. Sometimes using Open(Char To Blob(), "text") might be enough and sometimes not (like below)

Names Default To Here(1);
RP = Run Program(
	Executable("PING.EXE"/*path probably not needed*/ ),
	Options({"-n 2", "localhost"}),
	ReadFunction("text")
);
show(rp);

dt = Open(Char To Blob(RP), "text");

If it is not enough you either modify the data after you have it in data table or before you build it into data table

You can use log capture and words to get the log window output and parse it.

// OK we're good to go now.
batch interactive(1);	// New 5-17-2018 force all errors to go to the log
log_contents = log capture(
// Put your commands that write to the log here ...
	);
batch interactive(0);	// New 5-17-2018 errors will not be forced to go to the log

// Parse the log window
crlf = hex to char("0D0A");
log_list = words(log_contents, crlf);
