hi all,

i'm trying to write an hta application that uses WSH. i want to run serious of

commands/batch files in one single cmd console invoked by my application.

this is part of the code:

var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.Run("cmd",2); //create cmd console minimized
WshShell.AppActivate("C:\\WINNT\\System32\\cmd.exe");
WshShell.SendKeys ("dir~"); //run 'dir' command and 'enter'

the problem is that multiple cmd consoles are created and not one...

can any of you help???

thanks,
amstel

Can't you just put the multiple lines as SendKeys, like this?

WshShell.SendKeys ("dir~"); //run 'dir' command and 'enter'
WshShell.SendKeys ("cd /~");
WshShell.SendKeys ("notepad test.txt~");
