ExecFile problems

| Hi all, I tried to list all running tasks to a textfile. I'm using WinXp Pro and opened the command prompt (Start menu -> Execute -> cmd) I tried "tasklist > c:\tasks.txt", which works from there, but if I use this exact line within ExecFile like this: ExecFile("tasklist > c:\tasks.txt") the file c:\tasks.txt isn't there. When I create a .bat file ("c:\CreateTaskList.bat"), which holds the line: tasklist > c:\tasks.txt and I do: ExecFile("c:\CreateTaskList.bat") it works. But I wanna do it directly from within Blitz, how can I do it? I tried setting the command in a variable (string), but that doesn't work also. a$ = "tasklist > c:\tasks.txt" ExecFile(a$) Doesn't work either. Not even this: a$ = Chr$(34) + "tasklist > c:\tasks.txt" + Chr$(34) ExecFile(a$) Can someone help me with this? If I try the example from the Blitz docs: ExecFile("calc.exe") That works. Strange. It seems that it doesn't work when the called command must write something to a file. |

| Dunno... try ExecFile("tasklist > "+Chr$(34)+"c:\tasks.txt"+Chr$(34)) |

| Nope, still no luck. Just tried 5 times. |

| I found it (finally): ExecFile("cmd /C " + Chr$(34) + "tasklist > c:\tasks.txt" + Chr$(34)) What a workaround :) |
