Executing DOS .BAT files.

[MiDaWe]

Hey,

I'm sure that this is simple as well. So simple in fact that I have searched this BB back about a hundred posts, but no answer for this.
How do I execute a DOS .BAT file. I am already using the shell(path) but I'll bet that I'm using it wrongly. Please help with syntax.

Also, can I write a .BAT file just like I would a .TXT?

1.)
You can use the Shell function like:

Shell "c:\autoexec.bat"

or you can use the ShellExecute API call.

2.) Yes, open a .bat file the same way and write to it the same way as a txt file.
