Is there a way to stop the 0 from appearing in the file? I'm hoping to redirect the output to a .BAT or .REG file so the 0 would cause problems.

Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise.

I got impatient waiting for an expert to offer advice and tried using other methods. Instead of using REDIRECTOUTPUT which wanted to post the result code 0 within the new file, I used the Open, WriteLine, Close commands. This worked great.

Example:
Open(1,"test.reg",5)
WriteLine(1,"text"+chr(10)+chr(13))
Close(1)

When the file was being written to, a 0 was posted to screen for each WriteLine command noting the success of the write. Fortunately this went to screen and not to my file.

You are getting the 0 because REDIRECTOUTPUT, OPEN and CLOSE are all functions which return a result code. If you don't want to see the 0, all you need to do is set use a variable to collect the result code.

Example:
$x = RedirectOutput("logon.log")

OR

$x = Open(1,"test.reg",5)
$x = Close(1)

• RedirectOutput
  

  code:

  ---

  $write=RedirectOutput("\\server\share\"+$filename)
  ? ", @userid, $os, $fileversion, $ieversion, @address, @date"
  $write=RedirectOutput("")

  ---

  or
  

  code:

  ---

  $write=RedirectOutput("\\server\share\"+$filename)
  ", @userid, $os, $fileversion, $ieversion, @address, @date"
  $write=RedirectOutput("")

  ---

  code:

  ---

  IF (RedirectOutput("\\server\share\"+$filename) = 0)
     ", @userid, $os, $fileversion, $ieversion, @address, @date"
  ENDIF
  IF RedirectOutput("") 
  ENDIF

  ---

• Open/WriteLine/Close
  IF (Open(1,"\\server\share\"+$filename) = 0)
  $write=WriteLine(1,", @userid, $os, $fileversion, $ieversion, @address, @date"+@crlf)
  IF Close(1)
  ENDIF
  ENDIF
