Run perl script and get output

[ameetee]

I want to have QM run a perl script which prints a number, and then capture that number to use in my macro.

This is what I am trying, but it fails, with the generic error "failed".

Code:

Copy      Help

str fs;
RunConsole("perl d:\Users\Amy\measure.pl" fs);
out fs;

Am I close? I'm not sure how to use RunConsole, and am having a hard time finding an examples. I'm not sure if that's even what I'm supposed to be using, but that's what searching here and google led me to.
