Run Vbs File From Cmd Peru
I am new to scripting ,vbs and HTA commands but I have tryed to create a simple hta folder with some text boxes that represent a date and the current time and I need to run a specific cmd command that takes that date/hour and use them in the specified commad.I think you will understand more when you read the code.I appologise in advance for the mistakes.
Hey, thanks for the rapid responses.I have managed to get it to run a part of what i want.The part of settime.sh was actually a command in putty and i didn't quite realise it at the moment of writing but i have managet to get it to a point where it runs putty when I press the run button.Now I need it to type in the command with the values given by the user in the text boxes.This is what I have so far: HTA Test

The problem is on this line:
Your first quote next to 'S:Claims' ends the string; you need to escape the quotes around your files with a second quote, like this:
You also have a typo in S:ClaimsSound.wav, should be S:ClaimsSound.wav.
I also assume the apostrophe before Dim oShell and after Set oShell = Nothing are typos as well.
