Re: Writing to a text file

The line

wscript.echo objExec.StdOut.Readline

writes a line of text to the screen. As I said before, you
must replace it with a statement that writes your data to
a file. The link I gave you has numerous examples for
doing this, as has the downloadable help file script56.chm.

With help from the MVP in this forum, I have a script that resets the
local
admin passwords in different OU in my network.

I have figure out a way to make the script print the computer name on
the
screen. This works great. Now I want to get fancier and want to print
what
I
get on the screen to a text file.

How do I make a script save to a text file in the c drive on my server?

Thanks,

Have a look here:

The article suggests you use code like this to pick up screen output:
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objExecObject = objShell.Exec _
("%comspec% /c ping -n 3 -w 1000 192.168.1.1")
Do While Not objExecObject.StdOut.AtEndOfStream
wscript.echo objExecObject.StdOut.ReadAll()
Loop

Instead of using "wscript.echo", write your lines to a text file.
You might also want to download the whole Scripting Guy file -
there is a wealth of information in there!
