DOS..BAT file problem from VB
in [General]

Prev: Can you change case settings on excel as easily as on word
Next: add rounded numbers using the rounded value
From: TomD on 8 Feb 2010 13:43 I have a program that prints to the screen. From a DOS window, or with a BAT file I can redirect the data to a file via the following command "Path Arg1 Arg2 >Filename. But, when I execute the BAT file from a VB program, using either Shell or FollowHyperlink, the output file is created or recreated but remains empty. Any help will be greatly appreciated. TomD

Tom - This forum is for Excel questions, not DOS, so you might get a better answer in another forum. That said, try the pipe character (|) for redirection instead of the greater-than sign (>). Sometimes that works better. -- Daryl S "TomD" wrote: > I have a program that prints to the screen.
