oExec.StdOut after pipe Findstr

[Wensi Peng]

Hello,

Can Exec object read lines from standard out after a pipe in command-line?
Below is my script. After I added |findstr in the command-line oExec does
not read anything from screen.

Any tips?

Thanks,
Wensi


strCommand = "%comspec% /c ping -n 1 " & strComputer & "|findstr /i ""reply
timed unknown"""
set oExec = Wshshell.Exec (strCommand)
Do Until oExec.StdOut.atEndofStream
Wscript.Echo oExec.StdOut.Readline & " , " & Ucase(strComputer)
Loop

Yes, try it.
If you get unexpected results or an error message come back again.
You don't expect us to test it for you, right?

I think Ray Constanzo pointed you here for batch question not for
vbscript ones.
