Redirecting output using Wscript.Run, doesn't work!

[wolfsteven]

Here is my sample code:

oShell.Run cProgram & " >" & cFile, nWindowType, True

However, the file isn't created.

The weird thing is that it was working for a while but then stopped. Permissions maybe?

Perhaps this ?
oShell.Run "CMD /C " & cProgram & " >" & cFile, nWindowType, True

Hope This Helps, PH.

Yes. Command line redirection requires a command line processor to preprocess the command and act on it. That's why you need to run Cmd.exe and pass your command line string to it for action if you use Cmd.exe directives like the redirection syntax.
