An anybody provide me with the answer to the following;

I am calling an wshshell.exec to execute a program. I can read the stdout
perfectly from this, but I would like to read the stderror so that it
provides more information as to what went wrong. I have tried playing around
with vbs and reading the stderr stream, but nothing seemes to be streamed
into this property. If I can get this to work then I would probably output
it to screen or a text file for further troubleshooting.


Thanks

Thanks urkec,

I looked at the example on MSDN and implemented this into my script. It
returned an echo box with all stdout information. I am now starting to think
that this app (synctoy 2.0) does not write file synchronisation errors to the
stderr stream as the msdn script should pick all this information from the
streams up and display them. Another thought on this one is that the
application is doing what it is supposed to as it does perform a sync fine
and reports problematic files that it couldnt copy. This is the information
that I would like to read in the script so that I can see which files
(including names and locations) did not synchronise, rather than a summary
displaying how many files didn't complete.

thanks anyway
