I'm trying to pipe a DOS command to a file using a ShellExecute,
but it doesn't create the output file. Here's the code:
var D : string;
...
D := GetStartDir;
ShellExecute(0,pChar('ipconfig/all >
'),pchar('harbor.txt'),nil,pChar(D),SW_SHOWNORMAL);
...
but no file named 'harbor.txt' gets created. Does anyone know how to
fix this?
Thanks,
Rich
