I'm using a tool called 'psgetsid' which automagically grabs all of my computers SIDs across my domain. I'm getting some errors on some of my machines and I'd like to investigate furuther but a simple redirect (>) doesn't log the error information for some reason. Because of this, I wanted to run the utility through WSHPIPE() to write each line out into a CSV file so I can look at the results at my leisure. The following command line generates SIDs for all computers across my domain:
Code:
c:\>psgetsid \\*


This works fine and shows the result for my computer:
Code:
	$rc = WshPipe("%COMSPEC% /c c:\psgetsid.exe ")
	For Each $line in $rc
		? $line
		'test'
		sleep 1
	Next


I want to be able to use the original command line with the "\\*" so that it will generate output for all computers across my domain but throwing that string into WSHPIPE() with %COMSPEC% doesn't seem to work; my script just hangs with the "\\*" in it. So I tried this and get the same thing. Something I'm missing about interpolation???

Code:
	$rc = WshPipe("%COMSPEC% /c c:\psgetsid.exe "+CHR(92)+CHR(92)+CHR(42))
	For Each $line in $rc
		? $line
		'test'
		sleep 1
	Next

You could use the old DOS Trick of re-directing your output to a text file..

* New File: c:\psgetsid.exe > c:\file
* Append to a file: c:\psgetsid.exe >> c:\file

Morning!

Just a question, when I read the udf it states -
;Parameters:
; COMMAND : REQUIRED. String value indicating the command line used to run the script.
; The command line should appear exactly as it would if you typed
; it at the command prompt.
;

, shouldn't you just be able to go WshPipe("%COMSPEC% /c c:\psgetsid.exe \\*") ?

well yes that's what I thought which is why I was looking for a little clarification that I was calling the string correctly.

And sorry kdyer, I don't know why but I didn't see your post... I tried that originally:

I tried the simple redirect to start out with and it writes the success to the output file but not the error information. This is why I wanted to use KiX and WSHPIPE.

You cannot expect both unless you explicity redirect both STDOUT and STDERR. There is a FAQ on that.

Based off of your suggestion Les, I tried a bit of research and most of all I could find for redirecting STDOUT and STDERR is with Unix commands. Microsofto published this:

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/docum...n.mspx?mfr=true

..but it doesnt' say how to redirect both to an output file. this is what i tried but it only wrote out STDERR and it didn't write it to a file:

psgetsid >&2 c:\errors.txt

the FAQ you're talking about, is that an FAQ on KORG?

You really need to learn how to search. Did you try searching our very own FAQ section for the two words STDOUT STDERR?

following the advice from your own link...

dir >c:\file.txt 2>&1

psgetsid >c:\errors.txt 2>&1

This of course assumes that psgetsid properly outputs to STDOUT and STDERR.

I thought I was with the Microsoft link...

And based off of that doc, I tried the exact string you did but it immdediately executes. well, nm, i see my mistake. it did work, it just didn't run for the whole domain without the \\* so it executed quickly. thanx as always and sorry to bother.

I meant how to search korg...
The default is "newer than 3 years" but many of the FAQs are more than 3 years old.

Obviously, you managed to search the internet.
