Example: Retrieving Shell Text

In this example, we explain how to retrieve text displayed in the shell or terminal screen.

• Action: Get Shell Text

• Input Value: N/A

  • This action does not require any input value.

  • The action automatically retrieves the text available from the active shell or terminal session.

• Output Value: {ShellText}

  • The first output variable ({ShellText}) stores the retrieved shell text.

  • If a second output variable is provided, the action returns the status as True or False:

    • True: If the shell text is retrieved successfully.

    • False: If the shell session is not available or no text is found.

• Logical Explanation: The Get Shell Text action retrieves the text displayed in the active shell or terminal screen without requiring any input value. The action stores the fetched shell text in the {ShellText} variable.
