某些时候，我们需要在 Excel 中调用命令行或者 Bash 脚本， VBA 可以通过 Shell 函数很方便地做到这一点。以下用ipconfig /all来举例，这条命令行语句用来获得机器的网路配置信息，包括 IP、网关等信息。它可以替换成任何一个 bash 脚本和命令行代码。

1、普通调用

运行下面这条 VBA 语句，会闪出一个命令行窗口，窗口里执行了ipconfig /all命令行：

Shell "ipconfig /all"

但默认情况下， Shell 函数执行完毕之后窗口便被关闭。ipconfig /all速度很快，命令行窗口会一闪而过，用户根本看不到运行结果。下面是两个解决方法。

2、让命令行窗口运行完毕不自动关闭

一种解决方法是命令行窗口在运行完毕之后不关闭，这样用户可以看到上次的运行结果。这只需要在原来的命令行前面添加cmd /k：

Shell "cmd /k ipconfig /all"

为了方便，可以先设立一个函数来自动处理这件

Function RunShell(cmd As String, _
        Optional windowstyle As VbAppWinStyle = vbMinimizedFocus) _
        As Double
    RunShell = Shell("cmd /k """ & cmd & """", windowstyle)
End Function

然后运行RunShell "ipconfig /all"即可。

3、VBA Excel 和 Shell 交互

在 Excel VBA 中通过 Shell 直接调用命令行， Excel 和命令行进程是并行运行的， Excel 不会等待命令行运行完毕便会继续执行后面的代码，两者之间也不存在交互（ VBA 中 Shell 函数返回值是进程 ID ）。通过下面这个ShellAndWait函数调用命令行， Excel 函数会等待命令行运行完毕才会继续运行，并且可以获得命令行的运行结果和错误信息。

Function ShellAndWait(cmd As String) As String 
    Dim oShell As Object, oExec As Object
    Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    Set oExec = oShell.exec(cmd)
    ShellAndWait = oExec.StdOut.ReadAll

    Set oShell = Nothing
    Set oExec = Nothing
End Function

这样运行res = ShellAndWait("ipconfig /all")， Excel 会等待命令行窗口运行完毕，并获取命令行的运行结果进行后续处理。

4、另一种解决方案

上述的方法是一种简单方法，适用于简单的命令行程序。但测试发现，对于复杂的命令行程序，运行结果和预期可能不一致。这时候可以使用下面功能更为强大的代码。该代码来自Pearson，我做了些方便使用上的简单修改。

Private Declare Function WaitForSingleObject Lib "kernel32" ( _
        ByVal hHandle As Long, _
        ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function OpenProcess Lib "kernel32.dll" ( _
        ByVal dwDesiredAccess As Long, _
        ByVal bInheritHandle As Long, _
        ByVal dwProcessId As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function CloseHandle Lib "kernel32" ( _
        ByVal hObject As Long) As Long

    Success = 0
    Failure = 1
    TimeOut = 2
    InvalidParameter = 3
    SysWaitAbandoned = 4
    UserWaitAbandoned = 5
    UserBreak = 6
End Enum

Public Enum ActionOnBreak
    IgnoreBreak = 0
    AbandonWait = 1
    promptuser = 2
End Enum

Private Const STATUS_ABANDONED_WAIT_0 As Long = &H80
Private Const STATUS_WAIT_0 As Long = &H0
Private Const WAIT_ABANDONED As Long = (STATUS_ABANDONED_WAIT_0 + 0)
Private Const WAIT_OBJECT_0 As Long = (STATUS_WAIT_0 + 0)
Private Const WAIT_TIMEOUT As Long = 258&
Private Const WAIT_FAILED As Long = &HFFFFFFFF
Private Const WAIT_INFINITE = -1&

Public Function ShellAndWait(ShellCommand As String, _
        Optional TimeOutMs As Long = 1000000, _
        Optional ShellWindowState As VbAppWinStyle = vbNormalFocus, _
        Optional BreakKey As ActionOnBreak = promptuser) As ShellAndWaitResult
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' ShellAndWait
'
' This function calls Shell and passes to it the command text in ShellCommand. The function
' then waits for TimeOutMs (in milliseconds) to expire.
'
' Parameters:
' ShellCommand
' is the command text to pass to the Shell function.
'
' TimeOutMs
' is the number of milliseconds to wait for the shell'd program to wait. If the

' ShellWindowState
' is an item in VbAppWinStyle specifying the window state for the shell'd program.

' (Ctrl Break). If BreakKey is ActionOnBreak.AbandonWait and the user cancels, the
' wait is abandoned and the result is ShellAndWaitResult.UserWaitAbandoned = 5.
' If BreakKey is ActionOnBreak.IgnoreBreak, the cancel key is ignored. If
' BreakKey is ActionOnBreak.PromptUser, the user is given a ?Continue? message. If the
' user selects "do not continue", the function returns ShellAndWaitResult.UserBreak = 6.
' If the user selects "continue", the wait is continued.

' Return values:

' ShellAndWaitResult.SysWaitAbandoned = 4
' indicates that the system abandoned the wait.
' ShellAndWaitResult.UserWaitAbandoned = 5
' indicates that the user abandoned the wait via the cancel key (Ctrl+Break).
' This happens only if BreakKey is set to ActionOnBreak.AbandonWait.
' ShellAndWaitResult.UserBreak = 6
' indicates that the user broke out of the wait after being prompted with
' a ?Continue message. This happens only if BreakKey is set to

使用方法同样为res = ShellAndWait("ipconfig /all")。这时候 Excel 会等待该命令行运行完毕才会继续运行接下来的 VB 代码。
