Passing a variable's value to a program using VB Script

Question

The code below should copy strNumber's value into clipboard, but it will copy the "strNumber" string into clipboard and not its value, how to fix it

Dim strNumber, SH

Set SH = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

strNumber =Inputbox("Number","Input Required")

SH.Run ".\ClipboardCopy.exe set strNumber"
Set SH = Nothing

Not sure what ClipboardCopy.exe does and takes, but it should be SH.Run ".\ClipboardCopy.exe set " & strNumber — PatricK

As PatricK said:

Dim strNumber, SH

Set SH = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

strNumber =Inputbox("Number","Input Required")

SH.Run ".\ClipboardCopy.exe set" & strNumber
Set SH = Nothing

Shouldn't there be a space after "... set"?

Thanks For your Answer it is working Now, and Ekkehard.Horner is right, and after set a space is needed...
