> You're not really doing this in VB Script - you're shelling out to a console
> session and you then have the usual problems with placing the correct number
> double-quotes around your file names. A cleaner solution would be to do the
> whole lot with VB Script commands, e.g. like so:

> sName1 = "D:\Sites\www\applications\recorder\file1.mp3"
> sName2 = "D:\Sites\www\applications\recorder\file2.mp3"
> sName3 = "D:\Sites\www\applications\recorder\New.mp3"
> Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
> iSize1 = oFSO.GetFile(sName1).Size
> iSize2 = oFSO.GetFile(sName2).Size
> sFile1 = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sName1,1,False).Read(iSize1)
> sFile2 = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sName2,1,False).Read(iSize2)
> Set oFile3 = oFSO.CreateTextFile(sName3, True, False)
> oFile3.Write sFile1
> oFile3.Write sFile2
> oFile3.Close
