Yes, when i popup a msgbox, the location of the file chosen is correct.. However, I am wondering when i executed System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(MyProg, myParam), can the .exe be able to capture the parameter from "myParam" ? that is: under the MS-Dos command, i'll enter C:\Python26>test.exe file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt from above: if MyProg = test.exe then myParam = file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt But when i run this script, myParam = C:/desktop/file1.txt ---> therefore when i started to execute the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(MyProg, myParam) the script will be reading as test.exe C:/desktop/file1.txt C:/desktop/file2.txt C:/desktop/file3.txt ??

hi, it doesnt seem to work. For example i have a textbox which will display the files location using OpenFileDialog1(open_click_button). Inside this textbox, it might display more than 1 file from a certain directory. After which, i would like to use this files from this directory to act as a parameter into an exe file. Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim strFileName As String OpenFD.InitialDirectory = "C:\" OpenFD.Title = "Open a Summary File" OpenFD.Filter = "Summary Files|*.summary" Dim DidWork As Integer = OpenFD.ShowDialog() If DidWork = DialogResult.Cancel Then Else strFileName = OpenFD.FileName TextBox1.AppendText(strFileName) TextBox1.AppendText(" ") End If End Sub Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Dim ChosenPlatform As String Dim MyProg As String 'Dim filename1 As String Dim myParam As String If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then ChosenPlatform = RadioButton1.Text MyProg = "C:\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Project1\summary\sum_trial1\sum_trial1\program1.exe" 'filename1 = "text.txt" myParam = Replace(TextBox1.Text, Chr(13), " ") ' replaces carriage returns with spaces System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(MyProg, myParam) TextBox1.Text = " " ElseIf RadioButton2.Checked = True Then ChosenPlatform = RadioButton2.Text ElseIf RadioButton3.Checked = True Then ChosenPlatform = RadioButton3.Text End If 'MsgBox("You select " & ChosenPlatform & " platform. Report will be saved in C:\MY DOCUMENT and current folder") End Sub

I managed to find a script by doing some searches: Shell "C:\Path\MyExe.exe this_is_the_cmd_line" and apparently it's worked as commented by the user. As the parameter i am using might come from a different file location and it can be more than 1 file. How am i suppose to do sO?

I am a beginner using VS 2008. I am trying to use VB to create a window form whereby user will open a few files to run with an exe file. I have a python code which already converted to an exe-readable file. In order to run the exe file, i still need to fetch input arguments (in this case, some text files) to execute the exe program. Over at VS, i am creating a window form where there is an open button to allow user to search for the files (txt files) they wish to fetch - this will show in the textbox, and using the files they chose, user will click on the 'Execute' button to run the program. I managed to find the cmd code to run an exe file, however i am not sure how i can place my txt files to run together with my exe program. Can anyone able to help me ?? Cheers
