I take those parameters are assocoated with the program being run and are not anything to do with mIRC...? Simply, I just wrote: Code: /runfile { run command.com /c dir c:\ > c:\test.txt } and that replaced all in c:\text.txt with the results of the dir command. I don't know if there's a way you can use mIRC to see if the command executed using run has completed, if there is such a thing, then you could easilly get mIRC to read out the lines in the text file using: Code: /playfile { var %i = 1 window -a @Test clear @Test while (%i <= $lines(c:\test.txt)) { if ($read(c:\test.txt, %i) !== $null) { aline @Test $read(c:\test.txt, %i) } inc %i } } Hope that's what you were trying to do...

Quote: i've tryed run c:\path\to\command.exe -lcfm > c:\path\to\output.txt Ok, so now we may be getting somewhere... Code: U:\>command /? Starts a new instance of the MS-DOS command interpreter. COMMAND [[drive:]path] [device] [/E:nnnnn] [/P] [/C string] [/MSG] [drive:]path Specifies the directory containing COMMAND.COM file. device Specifies the device to use for command input and output. /E:nnnnn Sets the initial environment size to nnnnn bytes. /P Makes the new command interpreter permanent (can't exit). /C string Carries out the command specified by string, and then stops. /MSG Specifies that all error messages be stored in memory. You need to specify /P with this switch. you use: command.exe -lcfm Where in the code (help text) above do the switches -lcfm come from? - They are not switches for the /run command in mIRC: Code: /run [-np] <filename> [parameters] Runs the specified program with parameters. The -n switch minimizes the window of the application being run. The -p switch sets the working path to the path of the application being run. You can enclose the filename or parameters in quotes if you need to. If you specify a non-executable file, mIRC tries to open it with the application associated with that file and again it's not a valid switch for command.com. It seems to me, that unless you've got a special command.com or are using a different executable file other than command.com, that the switches will not work (also note that with DOS, you would normally use switches for e.g. /Switch and in mIRC -Switch Don't know if this has anything to do with it...Seems like there's nothing to output... Hope this isn't going on too much, am working and have to keep coming back to this to finish!! (and its a Monday Morning!!!)
