--dir.wsf---
<job>
<script language='JScript'>
var wshshell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
wshshell.run("%comspec% /c DIR *.PAB /o /l /b /s > foo.txt", 0, true);
</script>
</job>
---end--

using DIR with wshshell.run

Not a lot of difference here, specify the different script tags and then
this

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run ("%comspec% /c DIR *.PAB /o /l /b /s > foo.txt", 0, true)

using DIR with wshshell.run

Here's an example using the attached batch.wsc (Windows Script Component)...

set batch = createobject("batch.wsc")
'
'get a sorted array of txt file names
'
batch.execute "dir ""c:\*.txt"" /a-d /b /on"
if batch.StdOutCount > 0 then
msgbox join(batch.StdOutLines,vbcrlf)
'msgbox batch.StdOutText 'this is equivalent
else
msgbox "no matching files found..."
end if

See comments in batch.wsc for full syntax...
