Help with WScript.Shell Object

am 07.05.2005 19:18:32 von Patrice

I've made an ASP page that calls a small executable and collects its
text output into a variable ("strExeOut") below. Below is some code similar
to the one I use for that purpose.

strExe = "C:\whatever\myprogram.exe -h1 -d33"

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objScriptExec = objShell.Exec(strExe)
strExeOut = objScriptExec.StdOut.ReadAll

I developed this in my own computer and the whole thing works like a charm,
but
unfortunately I assumed my hosting provider would let me run the (little and
harmless) exe, and they won't.
Therefore I have to run only the "exe" portion of the code in another web
server and send
back the output to my website on the net.

I'd like to get some feedback on what would
be the best way to call an exe on another server, and to have the output
sent back.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
