vb script file existence check

[ytakbob]

I am running a shell that will simply zip a file (this is working fine).z
Upon returning, I check for existence of the zip file and
even though the file is there, it is failing.

My code looks like this:

getShell.run "c:\temp\test.bat",bWaitOnReturn The file is zipped here

If fso.fileexists(zipped file), then
wscript.quit 0
Else
wscript.quit 1 This is the path it is taking
End If


function getShell ()
set shellObj = Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
set getShell = shellObj
end function



Note: The syntax is fine because I put the zip file out and re-run and it works fine.
It seems the getShell.run is not complete before the fileexists check kicks in.

Try putting the system to sleep:

getShell.run "c:\temp\test.bat" 'Notice no parameters
Wscript.Sleep 15000 'For 15 seconds.

Since u mentioned the syntax is fine, maybe this might work.
