How can i add the commands in DOS such as

timeout, size,count..stuff like that

into my vb app...without actually using DOS.

I already no how to send bytes but am not sure about everything else.


Thanks

by size do you mean the size of a particular file? If so then:

Text1.Text = FileLen("C:\test.txt")

FileLen is the function that would tell you the file size in bytes...if you need it in kb then simply use math. :)

I'm not sure what you mean by count though...

Hope that helps,

Thanks again :)
