I think you'd need to DIM interfaceoutput AS String SHELL "ifconfig blah blah" to interfaceoutput
Then you'll need to split it - is it space or return separated? E.g. (return separated) allinterfaces = Split(interfaceoutput, "\n") "allinterfaces" is an array that now contains all the interfaces. To add them to the combobox, its as simple as: For each interface in allinterfaces Comobox1.Add(interface) Next ** The only problem being is that command you have will probably need some backslashes in for it to be passed to shell properly.
