    shell not working :-/ [resolved]

    hi, trying to get the names of the computers connected on the network:

    Code:
    Option Explicit

Dim wShell
Set wShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

wShell.Run "net view>c:\new\temp.txt", 2,true


Set wShell = Nothing
    The file temp.txt does exist, but nothing is written to it


    Anyone know why?

    Thanks,

    Amleto


    edit:
    got this to work:

    Code:
    wShell.Run "cmd /c net view>c:\new\temp.txt", 2,true

    Why don't you just use Shell(...)?
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    Sorry, didn't realise what language you were using.
