How to execute .exe which runs on windows using talend.

[Srini2]

Hi All,
I have a .exe which runs on windows, it reads column in a input file and gives transformed output.
Requirement: I have multiple Input files and each file has 3 columns, need to pass the 3rd column to .exe and .exe will return transformed output in form of columns in tab delimited say 5 columns. Need to append 1st and 2nd columns from input file to this output, ie, for each input file read by .exe, i need to get one output file with first 2 columns in input file + new columns generated by .exe.
 I tried calling the exe from batch script, the problem here is its taking very long time to read the files and give the ouptut.
sample data in input file: 
CYHD 1420071840 CYHD 010024Z AUTO 26017G22KT 3SM -SN FEW021 SCT026 BKN034 OVC041 M12/M14 A2963 RMK SLP072

batch script I used:
@echo off
set "TAB=	"
set "SPACE= "
set z=0
set srcdir=C:\Users\502525968\Desktop\Source10\
set outdir=C:\Users\502525968\Desktop\Target10\
set filefilter=*.dat

rem rd /s /q %outdir%
rem mkdir %outdir%

for /r %srcdir% %%g in (%filefilter%) do (
set currfile=%%~nxg
echo processing %%~nxg
for /f "tokens=*" %%r in (%srcdir%/%%~nxg) do (
	set /a z=0
	call :processline %%r
)
set /a z=0
call :addcolumn
)
set "col1="
SET "col2="
SET "col3="

goto :eof

:processline

for /f "tokens=*" %%c IN ("%*") do for %%B in (%%c) do ( 
	call :addcolumn %%B
)

exit /b

:addcolumn
set /a z+=1
if %z% == 1 (
		if not "%col1%" == "" (
			if not "%col2%" == "" (	
			MetarParser10.exe -m "%col3%" -l >> %outdir%/%currfile%
			echo %col1%%TAB%%col2%>> %outdir%/%currfile%
			)
		)
	set "col1="
	set "col2="
	set "col3="
)

if %z% == 1 (set "col1=%TAB%%1") else ( if %z% == 2 (set "col2=%1") else ( if %z% == 3 (set "col3=%1") else ( set "col3=%col3%%SPACE%%1" )))

exit /b

goto :eof

:eof

can we implement this in talend or is there any way to tune this.
Thanks,

Hi pitani13,

Have you tried to use talend component to achieve your goal? tFileinputXXX-->(Transformed processing)-->tFileOutputXXX.

Hi, how can we call .exe which executes on windows in talend and can we pass parameter to the .exe in talend.

Thank you..
