how to put content of directory into a file in HTA 1

[barny2006]

hi,
i'm trying to put contect of a folder (file list) into a text file using HTA/vbs to be used in a pull-down menu. i get an error msg when i use this code:

Set wshshell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    wshshell.Run("cmd.exe /c dir c:\visdb data\*.* > c:\a_temp\test.txt")

is there anyway of doing this using filesystemobject or calling another vbs to do it?

Which error message ? On which line ?

You may try this:
Set wshshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wshshell.Run "cmd.exe /c dir ""c:\visdb data\*.*"" > c:\a_temp\test.txt"

Hope This Helps, PH.

i'm getting an error msg:
object required: 'wscript' on the first line.

i tried your suggestion:
instead of:
set wshshell = wscript.creatobject.....
i put:
set wshshell = createobject.......
and it worked a ok.
thanks phv
