Hopefully it's a quick question:

I want to basically run through an loop where each time:

It reads a line from a text file, the line has a file path in it.

Then want to run a program called md5.exe with the parameter of the file name just read from file.

This program outputs a string with the md5 of the file in question, which I then want to write to the second file.

The loop and array should work fine since I've ripped them from a parser I wrote. It's the syntax of how to do the "md5.exe filenamehere" That I don't know.

Thanks for your time.

ShellExecute accepts 'parameters'. These parameters can be strings or variables.
