Can someone give me some sample code on how one would go about executing a
command line "command" from within an ASP form?

We need to run an application called GnuPG which allows us to encrypt an
email.

Preferably some documentation directly on this would be good but any other
docuemtnation on executing a command line "command" would be great!

Thanks,

Brad

Take a look at the .Run method of the WScript.Shell method in the Microsoft
Windows Scripting Host documentation.

OK, do you have to add a reference somewhere to "wscript.shell" in order to
use it's methods within an ASP script or will it "just be available"??

To use this in a VB or Access project, what reference would you add?

Thanks,

You'd just create the object with CreateObject("WScript.Shell"). The object
will have its properties and methods available to itself!

Windows Script Host Object Model, I'd imagine. But as this is an ASP group,
I wouldn't trust this answer as fact.

Ray at work

in ASP would you this then...

set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.run "some command to run"

the documentation you pojted me to uses
"set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject not just the CreateObject function...

WHich is correct in ASP?

Thanks,

Brad

Yes, just CreateObject. Have you even made an ASP page yet? Instead of
just talking about the theoreticals, you may find it more helpful to start
playing with some code in an ASP page.

Yes, our graphic designer already has the page done. We do not have ASP
here - she can only run it on our providers windows box. I'll will give her
this test code to see if she can get simehting simply like a "dir" to
work...

Thanks,

Brad

Well, just remember that is ASP, there is no interface to see when you
execute DIR... You'd have to dump the results to a file on the server and
read that or read the StdOut of the command... Good luck trying to write
and debug code without a server to work on there! That's rough! You don't
have any Windows NT, 2000, or XP Pro machines even? All you have to do is
install IIS, which comes with those OSes, and there you have ASP support.
