VBScript getting results from Shell

by

You will want to use the WshShell object’s Exec method instead of Run. Then simply read the command line’s output from the standard streams. Try this one:

Const WshFinished = 1
Const WshFailed = 2
strCommand = "ping.exe 127.0.0.1"

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set WshShellExec = WshShell.Exec(strCommand)

Select Case WshShellExec.Status
   Case WshFinished
       strOutput = WshShellExec.StdOut.ReadAll
   Case WshFailed
       strOutput = WshShellExec.StdErr.ReadAll
End Select

WScript.StdOut.Write strOutput  'write results to the command line
WScript.Echo strOutput          'write results to default output
MsgBox strOutput                'write results in a message box
