RBS, You need to put all your sqlite shell commands in one file, say sqlitecmds.txt. This includes the dot commands and the SQL statements. So sqlitecmds.txt contains: .output testfile.txt select * from readcode where read_code glob 'G2*'; Then you need to put your DOS shell commands in another file, say readcode.bat.

So readcode.bat contains: cd c:\test\ReadCodes c:\test\Program\sqlite3 c:\test\ReadCodes\ReadCode.db < sqlitecmds.txt Then you tell the DOS shell (actually cmd.exe) to run the commands in your readcode.bat file by typing the batch file name at the command prompt. C:\>readcode This will execute your batch file commands, which will run the sqlite shell program, which will read and execute the commands in the sqlite commands file, which will write its output to the file testfile.txt in the current directory (which will be C:\test\ReadCodes).

Then it will be in virtual memory and you will have a pointer to it. It is not an Sqlite feature, but one your programming language can do through its API. On Windows just use the regular Win32 API to map the file and to write. You can then access everything you wrote using the pointer. - To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -

RE: [sqlite] select from commandprompt with output to file
Latest SQLite, 2000 to XP. I have the output to text working now when I type it at the command prompt, but I now need to figure out how to do the whole sequence without any user action. I has to run from VB or maybe a VBS file or anything that can be initiated from VB/VBA.

RE: [sqlite] select from commandprompt with output to file
Yes, from a DOS command shell, but when I get it working I would like to avoid the DOD box. I have been trying your suggestion in various forms, but sofar no success yet. Something is happening though, so it looks like it might work. I get various error messages: path can't be found, incomplete SQL, cannot find unnamed pipe etc. Tried lots of things, but I know even less about DOS then you and I am just messing about in the dark. I will get it and thanks for the starting point.

I can see there is the .output FILENAME option, but nothing seems to happen. .output stdout works fine with output to the screen. Must be overlooking something simple here.
