I'm making a VB app that will need to run some cmd commands. Basically what I'm looking for is the equivalent of "System()" (C++) for VB.

Anyone know if it exists ?

you could type "llama.exe -f -r -rawk" at the command line, and Shell() just runs cmd commands, so it should work (that's what a site from google said, so it might not be right)

How about making a batch file and running that with Shell()

It might work…

The shell() command in VB is a little odd. It uses '/' instead of '-' for the arguments.
