How to run commands like "ipconfig" and get the output in adobe AIR in windows?

Question

import flash.desktop.NativeProcess; 
import flash.desktop.NativeProcessStartupInfo;   
if (NativeProcess.isSupported) {     
     var npsi:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();     
     var processpath:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("MyApplication.whatever");     
     var process:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();       
     npsi.executable = processpath;     
     process.start(npsi); 
The above can only run a sub-application, but how to run an independent  application(command) like ipconfig and get the result?

Hi,
here is an example of running a net Use command line from AIR, unig the new NativeProcess. Hope it will help !
function launchProcess()
  var file = air.File.applicationDirectory;
  // set command path
  file = file.resolvePath("C:/Windows/system32/net.exe");
  var nativeProcessStartupInfo = new air.NativeProcessStartupInfo();
  nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
  // prepare command parameters
  var args = new runtime.Vector["<String>"]();
  args.push('USE');
  args.push('W:');
  args.push('/delete');
  args.push('/y');
  // set arguments
  nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = args;
  // add listeners to catch command outputs
  process.addEventListener(air.ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutputData);
  process.addEventListener(air.ProgressEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_DATA, onErrorData);
  process.addEventListener(air.NativeProcessExitEvent.EXIT, onExit);
  // create and run Native process
  process = new air.NativeProcess();
  process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
function onOutputData(ProgressEvent)
  var processResults = process.standardOutput.readUTFBytes(process.standardOutput.bytesAvailable);
  air.trace("Results: \n" + processResults);
function onErrorData(ProgressEvent)
  var processResults = process.standardError.readUTFBytes(process.standardError.bytesAvailable);
  if(processResults.search('password') > -1){
    window.alert('Bad password');
  air.trace("Errors: \n" + processResults);
function onExit(NativeProcessExitEvent)
  air.trace("Process ended with code: " + NativeProcessExitEvent.exitCode);
