Executing a batchfile with asp

[Noodles24]

Hi,

I'm new to asp, but am wanting to execute a batch file via a webpage and display it's output

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks

Hello,

try this:


<%
Set fso = Server.CreateObject("scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set objWsh = Server.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objWsh.Run("D:\ASP\test2.bat", 1, True)

%>


or you use ASPExec:


<%
Set objExec = Server.CreateObject("ASPExec.Execute")
objExec.Application = "c:\aspexec.bat"
objExec.ShowWindow = false
strResult = objExec.ExecuteDosApp
Response.Write "Result:<br>" & Replace(strResult, vbCrLf, "<br>")
Set objExec = Nothing
%>


cheers

unfortunately I get this error when I do the first one:

error '80070002'

on this line:
objWsh.Run "C:\WEB\DDC LIVE\updatecvs.bat", 1, True

And when I do the second one I get this:

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'

Server.CreateObject Failed

on this line:
Set objExec = Server.CreateObject("ASPExec.Execute")

For the second example you need the free component "ASPExec" installed on your server.

You can download it here:
