Posted on by pranavj619

Here, I have used CMD output to get the machine name....and passing that variable into a string...but, I'm getting the folder path as multiline text which is why it is getting error while reaching to the file location...any idea how to get the text in single line....I tried trim but it is giving the same output

Make sure to use the Trim text on the variable that gets the machine name (and not on the entire text with path).

I have checked it that way and its giving the right output. (Without Trim it was giving a newline.)

Tip: You can also use "Run DOS command" and give command as hostname to get the machine name without creating a CMD session. Even this command gives a newline so had to use Trim.

Hi @pranavj619

If you're trying to get machine name from Power Automate Desktop - You can use "Get windows environment variable" action to get the computer name, instead of CMD script
