Writing DOS-Programs

Hi,
I want to write a VB 5 program that works on the command-line (cmd.exe) and can be used in a pipe (e.g. dir | find "blabla" > textfile.txt).

Is there anyone who knows how I put the output to the dos prompt and read from the output of another command-line tool?

Thanks,
Andreas
 
You should create a Console Application. Just start a new project and choose
this type from the templates.

Hi Andreas,

This is a VB.net language group, languages as VB6, VB5 etc are in the
newsgroups

microsoft.public.VB *

I think you get a better answer there.

Hi Cor

sorry I was wrong. I use VB 6 not VB 5 but I can't find this microsoft.public.VB - newsgroups, there are only ".NET" groups. Possible their will no longer supported by microsoft.
