VBscript code to capture stdout, without showing console window

by

I usually use this:

Wscript.echo execStdOut("ping google.com")

Function execStdOut(cmd)
   Dim goWSH : Set goWSH = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" ) 
   Dim aRet: Set aRet = goWSH.exec(cmd)
   execStdOut = aRet.StdOut.ReadAll()
End Function

For more advanced commands youc an wrap to comspec (cmd)

my res = execStdOut("%comspec%" & " /c " & """" & "dir /b c:\windows\*.exe" & """" & " && Echo. && Echo finished")
