The Shell command does not return the output of the command — it returns the command’s PID.

I think you might need an API call for that (see the thread at post 81357.

It can also be done with a somewhat roundabout technique using an available scripting language that does return the output from system calls (see http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2005/05/26/word_control.html%5B/url%5D for an example of such a technique).

I think this is related to another thread that you started. Please keep closely related posts in the same thread so that people jumping in can see the history of the project.
