For anyone who is interested in knowing, I got the chance to work on this
again today and I've solved the problem. Using the original syntax given to
me by Ganesh, I made some modifications and this is what worked for me:
dim oShell, exec
Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set exec = oShell.Exec("%comspec% /C diff -bBdiu directory1 directory2")
Regards,
Ayo
