    Shell

    How do I use the shell command in VB to ping a computer and redirect the output to a file on my C drive?


    Thanks!

    Re: Shell

    The easiest way would be to create a Batch File and call that from the Shell Command in VB, eg.

    In a "PingIt.bat" Batch File..
    PING %1 > %2

    In VB..
    Shell "C:\PingIt.bat www.codeguru.com C:\PingFile.txt"
