Hi all,

does run method has any return value? if not, is there anyway that I could validate to see if my command has been run successful?

If I use

strReturn = objShell.Run(cmd)
WScript.Echo strReturn

It always return 100

If I use

On Error Resume Next

WScript.Echo Err.Number

It always return 0

Best Regards,

Not sure if this helps because I am not exactly sure what you are trying to do but...

Google says...

WshShell.Run
Run an external Command.
Syntax
    WshShell.Run (strCommand, [intWindowStyle], [bWaitOnReturn])
Parameters
strCommand : The Command to be executed
intWindowStyle
(Optional) : Int value indicating the appearance of
                the program's window.
                Not all programs make use of this.
bWaitOnReturn : Wait for the command to complete before
                 continuing execution of the wsh script.
If bWaitOnReturn is set to TRUE, the Run method returns any error code returned by the application.
If bWaitOnReturn is not specified or FALSE, this method immediately returns to script execution rather than waiting on the process termination (and returns an error code of 0)
Specifying the bWaitOnReturn parameter allows you to run programs synchronously (one at a time).

The return value normally comes from the exe and it all depends on what return values the exe has.

Here are a couple examples I tossed together using cmd or ping. For me the return was either 1 or 0. Without a return list, I usually check by trial and error what the return should be in certain situations.

Thanks so much...It works... The code below return me 100 if there is an error and 0 if success.

WScript.Echo " "

WScript.Echo "Running command: " & strCommand
strReturn = objShell.Run("cmd /c " & strCommand, 0, true)

if strReturn <> 0 then

WScript.Echo "Error occured.... "

else

WScript.Echo "************* Finished *****************"

WScript.Echo " "

end if

WScript.Echo strReturn
