How to enter Y when prompted using Jmeter OS process Sampler

Question

I am currently stuck with executing a command to transfer some file using Jmeter OS process sampler. The transfer is facilitated by a EXE file which I need to invoke and then provide the route and the file names to make that transfer happen along with a Secure Key.

I am successfully able to execute the command but this command when executed prompts the below

Press Y to continue...

I tried a number of ways to pass the input as Y but its doesn't seem to work. I have tried the below options

1. Echo Y
2. / set /y
3. /Q to suppress the prompt
4. Created a bat file to echo y and then called it out from the OS sampler
5. Added the whole piece of command to the bat file and then echoed y

and there were few other combinations I tried but it does not seem to work.

If I provide a command in multiple lines of the OS process sampler, it simply appends to the previous command.

Any pointer would really help me out.

PS:- I did go through a number of links one of them was the below.
