hello anyone can help me with my project?
this about cmd.exe and sendkeys

actually this code is already working but
my problem is how to capture this cmd.exe into textfile...

lets say in C:\dir - u will see the directory right?
i want the history will be saved automatically into textfile

Thanks...

br,

Hi

dir *.* -u >>dir.txt

This will send the output to a file called dir.txt

thanks...

sir, take a look with my code

cmdGenerate.Enabled = False txtSerialNumber.Text = "" txtDummy.Visible = False txtExit.Visible = False CShell = Environ("COMSPEC") O = Shell("CShell -u >> C:\data.txt", vbNormalFocus)

is this correct? i got an error...

i want to capture the dummy.exe output into data.txt
Thanks...

well... I believe the "CShell" needs to be outside the quotes... the way you have it, it'll execute "CShell"

What that will do, once fixed is go to a command prompt, and possibly load a second command prompt (not sure though).

Regardless though, you haven't run the program that you're wanting to intercept...

JL is right you going to open another dos window. It would be easier to create a batch file to do what you want, then you can shell that command.

For example

Create a file called dircopy.bat,

Put the command dir /o-d >>c:\data.txt

save it in the root.

Then in your vb app

Shell "c:\dircopy.bat"

Hi everybody,

I'm new to this forum. I was searching for somehting on the internet and came across this site and it looks pretty good.

I think this is what you are looking for,

Shell "command.com /c dir *.* -u >> dir.txt", vbHide

Writes the dir listing of the specified directory and then exits the command prompt.
