Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Guy's, This has me puzzled for the last few hours and I just cannot see what is wrong. I want to use finddupe.exe to find duplicate files in a bunch of folders. I use the DirPlus UDF to get a list of of folders in a specific location. These folders can have spaces in the names so I need to preserve those to get correct results. The script below gets me the correct command line results on the screen. I copied and pasted each $shellline in a command windows and all executed correctly. Running them from a script makes finddupe.exe not interpret the redirect to a file correct. It must be something with the quotes but I tried so many variations that I cannot see the correct one anymore. Code: Break on $rc = SetOption("WrapAtEOL", "On") $folders = dirplus("d:\finddupe\test test\", "/ad") For Each $folder in $folders $shellline = 'd:\finddupe\finddupe.exe ' + '"' + $folder + '\**" >"d:\finddupe\duplicates_' + $folder.name + '.txt"' ? $shellline ? Shell $shellline Next _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

I knew about %compes% for redirecting output just did not notice the absence of it. Thanks for the reminder Glenn, all works just fine now. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.
