Call the DOS command and redirect the output to a file

Question

I would like to have a macro in Visual Studio 2005 that calls the DOS command and redirects the output (stdout and stderr) to a file. Just calling the command and redirecting it to ">" will not write stderr, so there are two parts:

• call DOS command
• capture both stderr and stdout to a file during this call

I would like to open this file in Visual Studio after the command completes.

I am new to writing Visual Studio 2005 and VB / VBA macros, so that's the kind of help I'm looking for.

Thanks Mark
