How command results into stringlist.
I want to be able to read the results of a windows command into a stringlist. The following command:
getmac /v /fo csv | findstr Local
produces following results:
"Local Area Connection","Realtek RTL8102e Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)","00-21-70-81-2C-96",
"Local Area Connection 2","Bluetooth Personal Area Network","00-21-86-A6-6E-2
I suspect that I will have to use shellexecute. Any advice welcome

I don't seem to be able to execute 'getmac /v /fo csv | findstr Local > macaddr.dat' in tpc. Also I have just found out the shellexecute will run asyncronously from the app so it may be that the outputed file will not be available to read.
you need to wait for it to finish

and then opening the file using a stringlist.loadfromfile
i suspect indeed you will need to use ShellExecute
