Dos

Whenever I open a .bat file or any DOS file it just opens up and disapears instantly.

ok well i just found out .bats are suppose to close when finished. Is there a way to make a file in VB that will open msdos and run a file, or a way to keep the msdos window open. The bat file i made is suppose to open a file that runs in MSDOS.

also when i tried to use

deltree C:\whatever

it said Invalid command or something. Any ideas?

If you are using 2k/XP, use "cmd" instead of "command".

oh, it still isnt work

Type C:\help
for to see all commands .

Try del instead of deltree if you are trying to delete a file rather than a directory.

Why not shell the command...

Do a search for Shell, as I can't remember the exact code. :p

it's something like

Code:

---

shell(C:\windows\command\cmd.exe yourprog.bat)

---

Also... right click the .BAT file and uncheck "Close on Exit"... and that'll stop it closing the MSDOS window.

stick the pause command in somewhere to get a "press any key..." thing.
