Hello,
i wanted to add blank lines to a log file.
The logfile is created by " wshShell.run "CMD /C echo sometext >> " & logfile"
I tried "wshShell.run "CMD /C echo " & vbNewline & " >> " & logfile" and such things but nothing seems to work.

I dont have the oppertunity to open up the file with OpenTextFile... because of some permission issues i have.

Thanks in advance, asgaroth

I have to be honest with you. I think you either need to sort out your permission issue or echo something other than a blank line.

Thanks for your honest reply...
I already thought that this would be a problem.

I will try with some other character, maybe | or something, because i don't think i can resolve that permission issue.
This is because i work for a university with logfiles which are already filled and i have to preserve them.
These logfiles only have write but no read permissions.
And i think i can't change >100 file permissions only to get that working with "OpenTextFile".
With that "wshShell.run "CMD /C echo sometext >> " & logfile" it works without reading rights, maybe because the output is
produced by the system and the system has overlaying rights.

Thanks again, asgaroth

try this:
wshShell.Run "%comspec% /c echo. >> logfile",0,true

Thanks!

That really works!

Now everything is fine with the output.
