Hi All,

I have a batch file that reads:

call process fileName.log

call process calls process.bat and this runs a small program.

I need a VBScript that will pass and run the 1st batch file.

I have tried

dim runBatch
dim FileName
set objShell = wscript.createObject("wscript.shell")

FileName = "testing.log"

runBatch = "call process " & fileName
objShell.run(runBatch)

VBS doesn't seem to like this.

Are you calling the script from the directory that has the batch file?
It look like you are executing it without the fill path.

try chanign this to the correct path
runBatch = "c:\scripts\call process " & fileName

I'm not sure I'm understanding your question correctly; are you just trying to put a vbscript together that will run your initial batch file?

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
runBatch = <BatchFileName>
objShell.Run runBatch

If the <BatchFileName> does not exist in the same location as the vbscript, then you will need to provide the path to it.

Is this what you are looking for??

Guys,

The script reads some files in a directory
It get the correct name of a file: FileName

The Filename is required for part of a batch file that I'd normally create manually.

By scripting it, I hope to pass the variables, "call process <filename>" into a batch file that is run?

Guess i could create the batch file then write the lines of the batch then run the batch?
