running Tcl-Application from VBA 6.0

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'd like to start a Tcl-Script from VBA. In the NT-Dos-Shell the following
command works properly :

" tclsh83 D:/TCL_Programme/test.tcl > D:/TCL_Programme/rest_0.txt "

The Vba-Code doesn't have any result:

Dim Ergebnis
Dim strName As String
strName= "D:/TCL_Programme/test.tcl > D:/TCL_Programme/rest_0.txt"
Ergebnis = Shell("tclsh83 & Space(1) & strName, 1)



Also using the SendKey-Method :
Ergebnis = Shell("tclsh83.exe ") // is successful
SendKeys "D:/TCL_Programme/test.tcl > D:/TCL_Programme/rest_0.txt", True
or even SendKeys "exit, True" in order to terminate doesn't work.

Any Ideas how surrender Parameteres to tcl83 ?

Thanx

Redirection is handled internally by the command interpreter. You need to
pass the entire string to a new instance of command.com or cmd.exe. Try
this:

Ergebnis = Shell(Environ$("ComSpec") & " " & _
"tclsh83" & Space(1) & strName, 1)

What about:

Ergebnis = Shell("tclsh83" & Space(1) & strName, 1)
