msDos cmd through VB.net

[Ronze55]

Hello everyone,

I would like to send the following cmd through vb.net to msDOS.

ren *in *.txt

I think it should look something like this:

Dim objExec = Shell("C:\Garan>ren *.in *.txt")

I got this off of a message board and I know this is half, if that much, of what i need.

I used to do this with vb6 but have forgotten and know it can be done with vb.net

any feedback is appreciated,
thanks

Ronze

i ended up going with this

strNewFile = Mid(e.FullPath, 1, InStr(e.FullPath, ".")) & "txt"
System.IO.File.Copy(e.FullPath, strNewFile)
System.IO.File.Delete(e.FullPath)
