using DIR with wshshell.run
Matt -
I was having the same difficulty, since VB Script does not appear to
directly support the simple DIR command. Below is basically the code I used
on an NT 4 workstation which works with just VB Script. I am using WSH
version 5.1, though I don't believe that makes a difference. I believe this
will work for most DOS-based commands. Of course, you can add whatever
options you desire. Happy coding!

Dim vFunctionReturn
vFunctionReturn = FileList()
Function FileList()
Dim oShell
Dim vReturn
Set oShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell')
vReturn = oShell.Run("Cmd /c DIR *.ASP /B /S > FileList.txt", 0, True)
End Function
