Anyone know much about vbscript? I'm running a shell script from a vbs file to redirect output to a log file

ie.
Set v_obj_shell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
v_result = v_obj_shell.Run("command thingy > "some file.txt"", 0, True)



When I save the command I'm running to a text file and copy and paste it to the command line it works as expected and outputs the log file I'm after but when I run it from within the vbs I don't get a log file. Any thoughts on why this might be the case?

You would probably have more luck over at https://stackexchange.com/

I don't know they get all snarky over there, not like here where everyone's balanced and friendly lol.

We're friendly, just not balanced.

If you right click on the file you saved and click the Previous Versions tab, if it doesn't say that there are no previous versions available, and you see a bunch of file versions, it could be that you have shadow copies enabled and they're saving on your main disk. Normally you'd have to tell shadow copies where to save that kind of thing but I don't know you nor the fingers that been all up in your computer.

Anyone have any experience optimising Mojave so it doesn’t feel like wading through quicksand? Was forced to update when Steam dropped support for my older OSX and my computer has been running like crap ever since. Seems to be a five second delay before it does anything.

I think Mojave works best when you side with the NCR.

Going from 2500K > 9600K soon.

Also 1600 DDR3 to 3200+ DDR4.

Hopefully this can last me 8 years like the last one.

Hmmmmmm ok

I had this issue years ago and I fixed it by deleting the SHELLICONCACHE file but this time it wont reset..... Notice on the right hand side it goes off the screen??

Its not supposed to be like that (Its gotton wider/bigger again and I dont know how to correct it)

Last time this happend like I say I just deleted the file "SHELLICONCACHE" and it fixed itself but I have deleted it 3 times since it started again a few weeks ago and nothing....... Its very strange......

Anyone know here??? (I might ask again on CTH if no one knows here -- Ah man!!)

Thanx dues
