First time playing with Shell...comments welcome

VB Code:

' Returns Gateway IP and more
 
    '
    ' VbForums.com   User: SESSI4ML
    '
Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim fname As String
    '
    fname = "c:\GateWay.txt"   ' Shell will not accept a long string. Max of ?
    ' Must have spaces between command and options (flags)
    '
    Shell "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c ipconfig/all > " + fname, vbMinimizedNoFocus
    Wait 1      ' OS will process the next lines of code before it finishes the Shell request
    Call LoadFile(fname)
    Label1.Caption = fIpConFig("Gateway") + vbCrLf + fIpConFig("IP Address") + fIpConFig("Physical")
    
End Sub
Private Sub LoadFile(strFile As String)
    Dim fb As Integer: Dim strIn As String
    If Len(strFile) = 0 Then Debug.Print "E1": Exit Sub
    fb = FreeFile
    If Dir(strFile) = "" Then Debug.Print "E2": Exit Sub    ' File was not created, Exit
    Open strFile For Input As #fb
       Do While EOF(fb) = False
           Line Input #fb, strIn  ' Load line
           Text1.Text = Text1.Text + strIn + vbCrLf     ' Load Text box
    Loop
End Sub
 
Function fIpConFig(strSearch As String) As String
    ' Scan Text box
    Dim int1 As Integer     ' First parameter
    Dim int2 As Integer     ' Second parameter
    Dim int3 As Integer     ' End of line
    '
    int1 = InStr(1, Text1.Text, strSearch)  ' Find Line
    int2 = InStr(int1, Text1.Text, ":")     ' Find colon
    int3 = InStr(int2, Text1.Text, vbCr)
    fIpConFig = strSearch + " " + Mid(Text1.Text, int2 + 1, int3 - int2)
