    Question

    Hi!

    My big problem is, that I can't use all paramters when i execute a programm via SHELL.

    Example: I want to execute THIS

    netstat -n >net.txt

    which should execute netstat and write the output to a file.

    "Netstat -n" works fine, but ">" or ">>" does not work!

    Now I have to execute a batch file, which is not a very good solution.

    Thx for your help and time

    redirects can't be done this way. You need to create a simple batch file which calls the program you want to run

    mynetstat.bat
    netstat.exe -n > net.txt
    EOF

    You can create this bat filedynamically in your program and kill the file when done, or just have a permenent bat file.

    What you need is the CreateProcess API function...I can't give much more than that because I don't have that part of the Platform SDK on my computer. Where's Megatron?

    Not sure but shoud work shelling command.com
    Code:
    Shell "command.com netstat.exe -n > net.txt", vbMinimizedNoFocus
    Use
