Hi, I am trying to understand Batch files for logging Text. I have a general understanding, but I am little lost on some of the command strings I keep seeing. I went out and Bought Microsoft Windows Scripting, and Command Line books. I am trying those command lines, and I am getting error messages. I guess you can’t run VBS command lines, and Batch files together. I am also having a problem trying to get script-o-matic ver2.0 to work. I hear in a couple of months Visual Studio 2005 is coming out. I guess I could get that. I tried another forum, and didn't get any response. I guess the world is getting to busy these days to get help anymore.

Sorry to hear that help is hard to find. Hope you find the help that you are looking for here. Try searching for old posts in here.
I appreciate your response and input Sir. You have made my night. I will get started on that right now. I have all these books, and I just don't see myself reading all these books in weeks. I have been trying to find a resolve to my problem for months, and playing around with command lines, and getting errors. Until I am blue in the face. LOL. Once again, Thanks for your response. :)
If we talking about batch files i will tell you something!!!!!
1.Open Notepad
2.Write hack.bat
3.Save as file as hack.bat
4.Open that and you see how batch files work!!!!!!!!!!
You can not mix VBS commands with batch commands. It would be like writing a line of C++ and a line of Visual Basic in the same program -once you call an interpreter/compiler it expects all the same syntax.
VBS is much more powerful than Batch files, albeit a little more complicated to write. Since you need some VBS you are stuck with ALL VBS. You can call DOS commands from VBS with the shell command, but that too is more complex then just writing something like "Dir>files. txt"
You can not mix VBS commands with batch commands. ...
Thanks for the input (you too, hackman). I'd just like to point out, in case you missed it, that this question was actually posted in 2005. So I wouldn't necessarily expect any feedback from the person who posted it.
(Though as far as I know your answer is still perfectly valid, and may be helpful to any others with the same type of question.)

Thanks Killer 42 I want to ask you for some questions!!
Had you open this file:
1.Go on desktop right click and go on new-shorcut
2.Write Shutdown -t -s 6000 -c
3.Open the file and you see how .exe files work!!!
HACKER FROM SERBIA
First off, creating a shortcut is not the same as an .exe. Second, telling someone to run a shutdown command on their computer does not demonstrate anything other then how to run shutdown commands. If anyone is curious you can run "shutdown /?" in a command window and see how the command works.
Ok - this thread is just silly now. And the "advise" about running the shutdown command can cost someone any unsaved work.
Remember folks - it's not just the posters who use the advice here - it's dozens of folks looking for similar help brought here by our friends a Google!
None of the advice in this thread is really worth the pixels they consume.

I have some code in my app that updates data by interrogating data from

I'm no whizz at batch files/DOS commands, but I've written them to open an

the app to recognise that it was opened by the batch...

I need help closing a CMD window when it is executed from Access.
1) The batch file is called from Access.
2) Access closes,
3) the batch runs a copy of the access database (creating a backup)
4) Once the copy is complete, the batch file opens the Access database
again
5) EXIT should close out the cmd window but it does not execute that

I have a batch file named GetConf.bat.
It contains a line like this:
ipconfig /all >c:\MyAppDir\IPdata.txt
I believe I could run the line with something
like ShellWait by Terry Kreft. Any reason I
should run the procedure via a batch file
call as opposed to launching the command
string directly?

I'm very new to vb (2nd day) and I need to create a small app that will

What I would like is to get the output of the batch file to display on
the gui as the batch file is running.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
