Vista - Run Command Line

Hello,

I am trying to run a vbs file on my server that appends a few mp3
files to another and creates a new file.

I can do this from the command line without out any problems:

copy /b D:\Sites\www\applications\recorder\file1.mp3 + D:\Sites\www
\applications\recorder\file2.mp3 D:\Sites\www\applications\recorder
\new.mp3

When I try this in a vbs file or asp file it just hangs in asp and in
the vbs I get the message "cannot find the file specified"

Dim oShell, sCommand
sCommand = "copy /b D:\Sites\www\applications\recorder\file1.mp3 + D:
\Sites\www\applications\recorder\file2.mp3 D:\Sites\www\applications
\recorder\new.mp3"
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run sCommand, , True
Set oShell = Nothing

Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks

James

session and you then have the usual problems with placing the correct number
double-quotes around your file names. A cleaner solution would be to do the
whole lot with VB Script commands, e.g. like so:

sName1 = "D:\Sites\www\applications\recorder\file1.mp3"
sName2 = "D:\Sites\www\applications\recorder\file2.mp3"
sName3 = "D:\Sites\www\applications\recorder\New.mp3"
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
iSize1 = oFSO.GetFile(sName1).Size
iSize2 = oFSO.GetFile(sName2).Size
sFile1 = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sName1,1,False).Read(iSize1)
sFile2 = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sName2,1,False).Read(iSize2)
Set oFile3 = oFSO.CreateTextFile(sName3, True, False)
oFile3.Write sFile1
oFile3.Write sFile2
oFile3.Close

By the way - are you sure that you can append .mp3 files to each other like
thim and get them to be processed correctly by your media player? What about
the header information?

manner, there are problems with the meta information as it all gets
merged but the files still play in itunes and media player, I
understand that there will be problems with the ipod though. I guess
the only way to inject the header information will be by using a media
program from the command line which will remove the old header
information and inject the details of the new file. Unless VB Script
capable of injecting the file header information into the file ?

I guess if it has to be a command line solution then I will hit this
issue with quotations you mention when trying to run it.

Thanks
