This document contains several VBScript subroutines and functions that execute system commands and return the output. It includes examples of using the WScript.Shell object to run commands like DIR, IPCONFIG, and PING and read the standard output and error streams. Functions are defined to generically run commands and return the results.

' Read the output into a variable line by line

DeleteOutput, NoQuotes)
'Run Command similar to the command prompt, for Wait use 1 or 0. Output returned
and
'stored in a file.
'Command = The command line instruction you wish to run.
'Wait = 1/0; 1 will wait for the command to finish before continuing.
'Show = 1/0; 1 will show for the command window.
'OutToFile = The file you wish to have the output recorded to.
'DeleteOutput = 1/0; 1 deletes the output file. Output is still returned to
variable.
'NoQuotes = 1/0; 1 will skip wrapping the command with quotes, some commands
wont work
' if you wrap them in quotes.
