Command Line Output

[FOAD123]

Hi all

Just a quick question to see if anyone knows how i can redirect output from the command line to a designated text?

Thanks

Try something like this:

SH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set X = SH.Exec("YourProg")
Do While X.Status = 0
  WScript.Sleep 100
Loop
While Not X.StdOut.AtEndOfStream Then
  sLine = X.StdOut.ReadLine
  ...
Wend

You can also use the StdErr property

Okay I guess the first part wasn't really clear.
What I need to do is:

1. Instead of doing a WScript.Echo I want to write to a designated log file. I am guessing I can just (and this is from the help manual):
set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
set tf = fspenTextFile("c:\temp\test1.txt", ForAppending, False)
f.Write "text"

2. I am kicking off a command line process of WinZip (using wzzip.exe) using the Run method. Any error's or text that wzzip.exe might echo I want to capture.. Can I do this with the Exec method and the StdOut?

Thanks,

Andrew

Yes, and the StdErr too.
