VBScript to command prompt

[Guest_imported]

Hi

I was wondering am I able to use VBscript to access the dos command prompt. I want to be able to move files around using DOS but I want to use VB for the rest of what I am doing. DOes VBScript allow you to issue dos commands??

Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
oShell.Run "command /C edit"

Thanks for that. What I really want to be able to do is to call a small DOS command line client called soscmd (it is for SourceOffSite) I want to be able to pass in the command line parameters from within VB script. Would I be able to pass VBscript variables as the parameters. Can I pass the parameters to soscmd from within VBscript at all??

You simply build up the string to pass to the Run method whatever way you want.

By using the Exec method you get even more power, and your VBScript code can even interact with the running program:
