piping with vb

Are you trying to open this text file? If yes, then you can use something like this:


Call Shell("notepad temp.txt", vbNormalFocus

If you want to run something and pipe the output to a text file, try using the the /c option with command.com

Example:
Shell("command.com /c dir >>c:\temp.txt")

This works for me in NT:
Shell("cmd.exe /c dir >>c:\temp.txt")


Hope that helps.

Thank you all for the responses, but it capture the text from command dir, and not the stdout put from command.com. Are there any way to capture the stdout from a file? Thank you in advance
