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.
