dos commands

[kurtsimons]

a few days ago I asked how to run a dos command in VB
I got this answer but it won't work

cmd = "cmd /c dir > " & app.path & "\dosresult.txt"


so I run

Shell "ping 192.0.0.1 /c dir > c:\test.txt"

or

Shell "NSLOOKUP /c dir > c:\test.txt"

and it doesn't do anything

Hi,

It's the outputting to a file it doesn't like.

Create a batchfile that runs the command and shell to this.

Then you can access the output file.

Sorry,

I don't know what a batch file is!

Please Advice

Batch file is just a file with the ".BAT"


put this in a file

ping 192.0.0.1 /c dir > c:\test.txt

and call the file test.bat

then run shell "c:\test.bat" from VB
