Sending a to the C Shell

[FJAY]

Good Afternoon - I have a opened a C shell (Posix.exe) from my VB program and I need to send a some commands to the prompt of C Shell from my VB program.

Note:
I opened the C Shell from my Vb program doing the following:

Dim retVal
retval = (Shell("C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\POSIX.EXE /u /c /bin/csh -l", vbNormalFocus)

Hey,

Maybe try to shell a batch file that contains the commands you want to run. This goes bake to the DOS days. Basically create a text file with a .bat extension, inside the batch file you can do anything you like. Batch programming is very powerful and can include not just command to execute, but can include variable and logic.

good luck,
