Is there a way in VBScript to capture the output of an external program? I am trying to automate some Legato Networker backup processes..Networker has a command-line program named "mminfo" that provides information on the backup database. I want to call mminfo, capture it's output, then manipulate it. I know that I can redirect the mminfo output to a file, then read that file using VBScript, but that seems kinda kludgy to me.
Thanks -JohnJ
