Create instance for a class(resides in B.vbs) from another .VBS file

Question

I have 2 vbs files.

A.vbs:

Class test
  public a
  public b
End Class

B.vbs:

Dim objShell         


        

Answer 1

.Running a .vbs won't make the code usable in another one. A simple but extensible strategy is to use .ExecuteGlobal on the 'libraries'. Given

Lib.vbs:

' Lib.vbs - simple VBScript library/module
' use
'  ExecuteGlobal goFS.OpenTextFile().ReadAll()
' to 'include' Lib.vbs in you main script

Class ToBeAShamedOf
  Public a
  Public b
End Class ' ToBeAShamedOf

and main.vbs:

' main.vbs - demo use of library/module Lib.vbs

' Globals
Dim gsLibDir : gsLibDir = ".\"
Dim goFS     : Set goFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

' LibraryInclude
ExecuteGlobal goFS.OpenTextFile(goFS.BuildPath(gsLibDir, "Lib.vbs")).ReadAll()

WScript.Quit main()

Function main()
  Dim o : Set o = New ToBeAShamedOf
  o.a = 4711
  o.b = "whatever"
  WScript.Echo o.a, o.b
  main = 1 ' can't call this a success
End Function ' main

you'll get:

cscript main.vbs
4711 whatever
