Run VB exe from command line

[Neera]

I need to run VB exe. The use wants to put it in a schedules where the input and output file will be passed as a parameter on the DOS line with run statement.

For example like this:

D:\>rriscrub9 [path\input table] [path\output table]


Can VB run this way??????????

You Betcha!
Run Line: C:\MyExe.exe C:\MyFile.txt D:\YourFile.txt
In your VB.exe


This morning I posted how to enter input/output file on the command line and the below is the answer.


Dim strInFile As String
Dim strOutFile As String
strInFile = Left(Command, InStr(Command, " &quot - 1)
strOutFile = Mid(Command, InStr(Command, " &quot + 1)

This did work but not the question is

The processing of the file is in a click event. Now because the input/output file is passed on the command line, I would like to process the file without the user interface. In which event the code should be to process the input file and create the output file??????/

Simply remove any forms from your code, add a standard module, and put the code in Public Sub Main. Then goto project properties window and set the startup mode to "Sub Main".
