Simple CMD argument throught VBScript

Question

Its been a while...

I have the command line arg:

xml sel -t  -v "computer/general/name" nsk1501901173m.xml > test.txt

that produces the results I want in the text document specified but I need to run it through a VBScript and for the life of me I cannot figure it out... any ideas?

You must use the WScript.Shell object to execute the app and the cmd /c (command shell with the /C parameter) before to pass your app arguments , check this sample

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.run "cmd /c xml sel -t  -v ""computer/general/name"" nsk1501901173m.xml > test.txt",1,true

Remember which script must be executed from the same location where the xml.exe app is located or even better add the location of xml.exe app to the PATH
