[THIN] Re: One for the script kiddies....

He's some VBS to help you with get the output from a command line to a variable in VBS

----------------------------------
Dim WshShell, oExec
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

'The tool is launched
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("getpubapp.exe")

'We wait for the end of process
Do While oExec.Status = 0
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop

'initialize the variable that the output will go to
MyVar=""

'We scan and append the command output flow to MyVar
Do While oExec.StdOut.AtEndOfStream <> True

MyVar = MyVar + oExec.StdOut.ReadLine
Loop

'MyVar is now ready to be used with the command line output assigned
'In this example we'll just write it to the screen with some asterix
'either side

Wscript.Echo "****"+MyVar+"****"
