Running DOS Internal commands - SOLVED

[mightycpa]

Is there any way to run a dos internal command, like DIR *.TXT from the command prompt?

I'm not talking about using GetFileList instead, or to write a batch file and run that. I'm wondering if MS can execute dos internal commands directly.

Thanks

Sure. Use the Run command:

Code: Select all

Let>RP_WAIT=1
Run>cmd.exe /c dir c:\*.txt >> "%TEMP_DIR%\temp.txt"
ReadFile>%TEMP_DIR%\temp.txt,allText

Too simple! Didn't think of that, thanks.
