executing dos commands

How can I run commands like copy, or md ,cd... from VB


Thanks...

Shell "myBatchFile.bat"

Code:

---

Shell "Command.com copy /parameters"
'or
Shell "copy /parameters"

---

Would there be anyway to get the DOS output back to the VB app?

You can use > to output the prompt to a file.

C:\copy c:\file d:\ >output.txt

...and Tada!

Good luck,

Oh yeah, you can then use the Open/Close to get the output.

API sendmessage would probably work too.
