how do i execute a command line function from VB

[patchkit]

Here goes. I need to record a user name and ip info to a text file. from a command line i would just type echo %username% >> textfile.txt etc.

I want to be able to run that command and a few other when a user clicks OK in the VB form. I know that ther eis a pretty simple way to do this, but i cannot find it in the MSDN. Thanks for any help.

You can use the shell function. In VB, there are better ways to write data to a text file.

Yeah, i found it 'enviroment.username'. Thanks though for that, it will come in handy later and thank you very much for the reply.
