Re: Need suggestion how to hide ugly black command prompt window

if all youre doing is copying files, why not just use the file copy methods
available to vbscript??
then you dont have to deal with command windows period

There are some scripts we use for transfering data, and they look
something like this:

...

Function CMDResults(cmdline)
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oExCmd = oShell.Exec(cmdline)
Set oExCmdStdOut = oExCmd.StdOut

Do: WScript.Sleep 10
Do Until oExCmdStdOut.AtEndOfStream
CmdResults = CmdResults & oExCmdStdOut.ReadAll
Loop
Wscript.Sleep 1000
Loop Until (oExCmd.Status <> 0 and oExCmdStdOut.AtEndOfStream)
Logiraj cmdline
Logiraj CMDResults
End Function

...main program starts here...

Do While Not (txtStream.atEndOfStream)
Linija = txtStream.ReadLine
sExec = "cmd /c copy X:\transfer\tra\out\" & Linija & " c:\tran\S" &
p_sifra & "\PRIHVAT /Y" & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
sResult = CMDResults(sExec)
If InStr(1,LCase(sresult),"1 file(s) copied") > 0 Then
...what to do if copying a file succeded...
End If
Loop
Set oFSO = Nothing
...

What this script does it copy file via plain "cmd /c copy" and retrieve
result, so if result incorporates "1 file(s) copied" then copying a
file if considered success, otherwise not.
The problem is with this ugly black command prompt that pops up.
Is there a way i can hide the command prompt window or could I have
done this some other way?

Thank you,
Drazen
