The bat file seem to be working exactly as you tell them to. In the instance below, when you are calling the exe directly, you are rerouting the screen output to the p.log file.
It is routing the ouput of the runme command to the log file. In the CFExecute example you posted earlier, you are routing the output from the BAT file to the log file. Not quite the same thing. Try changing the call in the BAT file to match your example below, including the redirected output stream. (and what are the command switches "-e /q /v" doing for you in the CFExecute example? Is /q quiet mode, which supresses all bat file output?) Now you've got me curious Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/05/02 02:27PM >>> Why is my output file empty? The filename is passed to the executable for processing but shen I specify the output to be redirected to a file its empty. Why? Run from command prompt: c:\temp>c:\program\runme.exe c:\temp\filename printer > p.log +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Philip Humeniuk [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
