ECHO DOS results

I have a batch program that i use to return results for a remote
computer for a variety of commands. This program then saves the return
values to a file, i want to dumb this up a bit for some of my fellow
employees.

Is there a way to ECHO results from a batch file to a visual basic
variable instead of a file? i understand i could just take the results
of the file and save it as a string, but i would just like to try to
bypass the extra work. Plus i'd have to rewrite my batch to write to
multiplule files otherwise i'd have a really long string.

I recently found how to run the batch and have my VB program wait
untill it is done running to continue, so theroticly i could just pull
the results from files. But i'll put this ball in the court of you
programming brainiacs.

Thanks,
KW
