VB Shell command help. A one liner...

Could you tell me how to properly represent "strFullPath" and "strFullPath2" in this line.


Shell "strFullPath -b strFullPath2 " & name1.Text & " " & message1.Text


The 2 strFullPath's are directory paths.

Any help would be fantastic.


oh and have a happy new years.

U can make these command line into a bat file,like it:
1.new a file with expanded filename is ".bat".
2.input your command line into the bat file as file's content
3.call shell function with the bat filepath as the parameter!
Or u can use shellex function to shell external command and paramter..To visit www.allapi.net for get it's detail!!..

Thanks for the suggestions.

But strFullPath and strFullPath2 are variables and the "-b" is a switch.


When ever the variable is changed I need it to carry out the full command.


Shell "strFullPath -b strFullPath2 " & name1.Text & " " & message1.Text

would be. for example.

#: C:\dir\program.exe -b C:\dir2\file.txt Jill hello

Is what I am wanting impossible? Putting variables in the shell command?

Thanks

I don't know what you are meaning by "representing" them, but it seems that this would be appropriate
