How can I retreve results from command line commands.

[BJ]

I would like to make some sort of program that makes network management easier. Can I retrieve the results from a command like ping or nbtstat? Or, will I need to use VB commands to retrieve these results?

Has anyone used the NT Resource Kit utilty IP Configuration, which returns the results of the command line ipconfig /all. There are many others as examples also.

Thanks
Brandon

com contains the command line arguments so by examining the in the form load event you can do various things.

Dim com As String
com = Trim(Command$)
