variable into shell command

[ajtsystems]

Anyone know how to get a variable into a shell command.

I am trying to create a folder in 7zip with the name using the date function.

Here is my code

Set objShell = wscript.createObject("wscript.shell")

strCommand = "7z a -tzip c:\test.zip " & MyTargetFolder & "\"
wscript.echo strCommand
objShell.CurrentDirectory = InstallPath

strRun = objShell.Run(strCommand, 0, True)


Any ideas would be good.

Thanks

James

myvar = "C:\Temp"

Set WSHShell = Createobject("Wscript.Shell")
WSHShell.Run("CMD.EXE /C Dir " & myVar)

I hope you find this post helpful.
