Shell exec vs Run Command - 2/9/2006 8:40:20 AM

I have the following code that works OK

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objWshScriptExec = objShell.Exec("ftp -s:" & chr(34) & strFTPScriptFileName & chr(34))
Set objStdOut = objWshScriptExec.StdOut

While Not objStdOut.AtEndOfStream
strLine = objStdOut.ReadLine
WScript.Echo strLine
Wend

It ftp's a file to a server. I want to capture the logfile generated to the variable strline. When i use the "run Command" It seems to capture more information than when I use the Exec command. The exec command only seems to capture the commands I issue and none of the commands the server issues. I could use the run command but the exec seems to be easier to work with. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Randy

How do you capture information from the .Run method? I was not aware that you could grab StdOut from .Run.

You can't capture the StdOut from a .Run command. However, you CAn redirect it into a text file and then parse the text file...

ShellExec has some limitations... for example, there is no way of hiding the dosbox that it displays on your screen.

Ya, I knew about redirecting, the op just made it sound like he was getting the StdOut interactively.
