I want to run two commands
The idea is to see what cards DO NOT have links assigned
Some cards will never have links assigned - that's no problem if they always show up on a report I would like to generate.
But the idea is I want to generate a list of cards minus the cards I get as output as a result of the second command

So basically you need to take the output from the second command and filter out those cards in the output from the first command?
If so, probably the easiest way to do that is to use the snapshot command to save the contents of the screen to a text file, open that file, and search for the "SLK LSN CLLI" using the strfind command. Once you have found that, you go line by line until the "Command Completed." line. For each line during that loop, you could use the strextract command, using a comma as the data delimiter, to grab the card (1205 your example) and then save that value away. You could use an array, another text file, append to a string, etc. whatever works best for you.
You would then run the first command and use a similar process to get the numbers of the various cards into a method you can work with to compare the two lists of cards. I think it might be easiest to read the first card from the second command, then go through the output from the first command, find that line, and delete it from the text file. I have a script or two on the samples page of my site that shows how to remove data from a text file that should get you started here (it's a bit tricky). When you are done going through the list of cards from the second command, you would close the text file from the first command, which would save your changes and end up with a processed list.
