The command is passed to your shell, and some shells except more than one command. Most Linux shells accept commands separated by ';', which
you can try yourself by entering for example: ls *.c; ls*.h

If i put the ';' into Execute the rest of the command becomes a comment thats why i was trying to use '&&' instead. If I encapulate
the whole command in "" or '' then both commands are executed but the files im trying to write to gets created but no data is piped into
it. When I use Execute with one command and pipe its output to a file everything works fine though. |

As far as I know ELOG is recognising a configuration line as a comment only when it starts with a ';'.
I can assure you that
ELOG does not treat the rest of the line as a comment when you use a ';' within a $shell() command: I do it a lot and it works fine. Here's
a simple, generic example using the bash:

dynamic "preset text" option without remplace text if it has changed, posted by Dani on Tue Oct 27 15:41:57 2015

Dear all,
Is it possible to have a dynamic "preset text" option without remplace text if it has changed?
I would like to switch the template file depending on the attribute value (Type). |

I don't think that this is possible.
And it is not clear to me, how you would like it to work: I often use HTML tables in preset text, where the user should fill out columns (e.g.
for checklists). I wouldn't want the tables just to append when switching to another checklist. You could rather add a comment to the Type field, explaining |

thanks Andres for your response!
I was thinking that it cannot be possible, but , I had to try to ask in the forum.
for my question, I think that this could be left on user responsibility to take care about it, and add a comment the the text fied, explaining |
