Calling a batch file with variable parameters from within VB.net Windows Form Application

Question

I need to be able to verify output from my VB.net app using a batch file that runs a Java app supplied by my client. I have tried using the Shell function to do this. The command line to run the bat file is as follows >Verifier SILENT > . I need to be able to use variables to specify both paths since the bat file takes only one directory at a time as input and I need to be able to change the parameters within the processing loop of my VB app. Has anyone done anything like this before? TIA
