windows - capture command line output in vbscript -


got simple script executes command server - briefly:

//create shell set wshshell=createobject("wscript.shell") wshshell.run "cmd.exe"  //send commands wshshell.sendkeys "telnet ip_address" wshshell.sendkeys "dir" 

server offers feedback want capture. need capture first line variable, , print variable out confirm.

can help? thanks.

do not use windows telnet client automation purposes. telnet client ships windows made interactive use only.

i'd use plink (from putty suite) in batch mode this:

plink.exe -telnet -batch ip_address dir 

the tool doesn't require installation, can deploy alongside script.

run either in batch file using head/tail, or in vbscript using exec method, can read stdout:

addr     = "62.39.x.x" port     = 24 timeout  = 300 'seconds timedout = false  cmdline = "echo ""mute near get"" | plink.exe -telnet -batch " & addr & " -p " & port  set sh = createobject("wscript.shell")  'change working directory directory containing script , plink executable set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject") sh.currentdirectory = fso.getparentfoldername(wscript.scriptfullname)  'wait until command completes or timeout expires expiration = dateadd("s", timeout, now) set cmd = sh.exec("%comspec% /c " & cmdline) while cmd.status = 0 , < expiration   wscript.sleep 100 loop if cmd.status = 0   cmd.terminate   timedout = true end if  wscript.echo  cmd.stdout.readall  if cmd.exitcode <> 0   wscript.echo "command terminated exit code " & cmd.exitcode & "."   wscript.echo cmd.stderr.readall   wscript.quit 1 elseif timedout   wscript.echo "command timed out."   wscript.echo cmd.stderr.readall   wscript.quit 2 end if
