Solved: Launch a sequence of Windows command line actions - Page 2

I would like to know if there’s a way to run two command line tasks using an Action button.
I was thinking that perhaps Hyperlinks may work but I am not having a lot of success.
Of course this app will only every be run from a Windows PC

The first creates a folder “D:\OneDrive\DaySheets” & [OrderId] where [Orderd] comes from the App.
The Second launches PDFill.exe to MERGE all the PDF’s in the folder “D:\Downloads\Test” into a single PDF and saves it in “D:\OneDrive\DaySheets” & [OrderId]

The commands need to be something like:

md “D:\OneDrive\DaySheets” & [OrderId]
“C:\Program Files (x86)\PlotSoft\PDFill\PDFill.exe” MERGE “D:\Downloads\Test” “D:\OneDrive\DaySheets” & [OrderId] -bookmark 1

In order to implement a solid cross-platform solution, I’d go with one of the following:

Using only AppSheet, avoid merging PDFs. Instead, try to use templates if possible
If you really need to call batch files, then I’d suggest to use a web service and in Appsheet define an action of type External: go to a website
