How can i Use paramters with Shell-Commands?

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
