Redirecting run command line output from VBScript

Kevi #1 / 3	Redirecting run command line output from VBScript Hello all, I having a problem in one of my scripts when I try to run XCopy as a shell command and redirect the output of it to a log file. If the command is just XCopy [source] [destination] [options] then it works fine, but if the command is XCopy [source] [destination] [options] >> [Log File] it gives me an error code of 4 and doesn't run. Is there a reason for this (i.e. is it a security precaution) or??? Thanks in advance, Kevin

Stuart Fo #2 / 3	Redirecting run command line output from VBScript Try building the command with "%comspec% /c " beforehand. e.g. strCommand="%comspec% /c xcopy source dest >> output.txt", wscript.run StrCommand Cheers Stu Quote: > Hello all, > I having a problem in one of my scripts when I try to run XCopy as a > shell command and redirect the output of it to a log file. > If the command is just > XCopy [source] [destination] [options] > then it works fine, but if the command is > XCopy [source] [destination] [options] >> [Log File] > it gives me an error code of 4 and doesn't run. > Is there a reason for this (i.e. is it a security precaution) or??? > Thanks in advance, > Kevin
