Basically I try to use the shell command to
sort a simple text file and generate another file.
My visual basic code is following:
Private sub Command1_click( )
Dim strCommand as string
Dim sngMark as single
StrCommand=app.path & “\sortSum.bat”
Shell strCommand, vbMinimizedNoFocus
SngMark=timer
Do
DoEvents
Loop until timer-sngMark > 2
End sub
The batch file sortSum.bat is following:
C:\winnt\system32\sort <c:\somefile> c:\outputFile
(or sort <c:\somefile> c:\outputFile)
somefile is just a simple text file I want to be sorted.
The problem is that there is no 'outputfile' be generated after
Execute the VB program. But if I execute the batch file (sortsum.bat) in the
Dos system, there is outputfile being generated.
does anybody know why? I have been burdened
with this problem for several days. Please heellp.
Thanks a lot.
