Hi!

It is very simple to do it with batch
for example:

i tried it with vbscript but i dont know what im doing wrong....

objShell.Run """" & sScriptPath & "\cmdprogram.exe" > "log.txt" & """", vbhide

======
strCmd = "%comspec% /c """ & sScriptPath & "\cmdprogram.exe"" > log.txt"
objShell.Run strCmd, 0, True
======
You can echo the value assigned to strCmd to make sure it looks correct. Any
quotes embedded in a quoted string need to be doubled. If a string ends with
a trailing quote, you get 3 quotes.

Try this:

oShell.Run """" & sScriptPath & "\cmdprogram.exe" & """" & " > log.txt"

There is another suggestion, if you want to be a little
more sophisticated. Read up on the WScript.Shell object's
Exec Method, and how one would retrieve the StdOut property.

The benefit of StdOut is that you can have the app's output
coming back to your script either character-by-character,
or line-by-line. This may or nay not be of value, but in
some situations -- such as pinging another server -- it
allows for taking some alternative logic path depending on
the output, as it is occurring.

Hello,

Try this (the > is now inside of the quotes):

objShell.Run """" & sScriptPath & "\cmdprogram.exe > log.txt" & """", vbhide

Otherwise, are you getting any specific error message or just a syntax
error?
