How do I run an .exe with command line arguments.

[Saucer Man]

I need to run an .exe with arguments like

this.exe address: 192.168.168.100 logfile: c:\logfile.log

How can I do this?

Your question is a little unclear. Which of the following to
you mean:
- Run an .exe file by itself?
- Invoke it from within a bach file?
- Invoke it from within a VB Script file?

If it is the last one, have you looked at the "exec" and "run"
methods of the WScript.Shell object?

I was looking to invoke it from a VBScript. I think I need a (two) pairs of
quotes around the actual path and .exe and then a set of quotes around the
whole thing. Like this...

"""c:\program files\test.exe"" -address 10.1.2.3"

You also need the Run or the Exec method to 'shell out' to the command
environment ...

with createobject("wscript.shell")
.run """c:\program files\test.exe"" -address 10.1.2.3", 0, true
end with
wsh.echo "Done"
