wsh

As QA I use WSH scripts to do auto upload, deployment and some time Web testing in IE. WSH(wscript) with JavaScript can open IE window, activate it and access DOM model to do some actions or verify some expected results.

Recently I found NodeJS and all its abilities, except manipulating with Windows IE DOM. Cannot find the way on how to run my old WSH scripts to test IE DOM and at the same time use some NodeJS modules to parse XMLs

I want to run a vbs command from command line as I would in batch calling cmd.exe /c "echo.Hello World! & pause" Obviously this doesn't work wscript /C MsgBox("Hello world") I could print the vbs and then call the temporary file and then delete it cmd.exe /c "echo.

Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts. martin jakubik You can place the DLL in the same path as the executable, which is searched first before %WINDIR%. There's no way to call SetDllDirectory from a batch file directly. But, you can insert

I'm creating a HTA application that needs to open PDF document. I cannot assum that the user will have acrobat installed on his PC as in this example The WScript ( documentation ) allow you to run a command line application. But what I would like, is for the WScript to simulate a double click on the file. I would like to be able to do something like var wshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); wshShell.Exec(pdfFilePath); // That does not work In cmd , you can open a file like this: start c:\path\to\file.pdf Maybe this works wshShell.Exec("start " & pdfFilePath); //do you do string concat

I need an "alert" type feature to troubleshoot an error. I am not using a browser and using javascript as windows administaration purposes. So is their a way to view a varibales value if I am not using a browser? JScript is a scripting language based on the ECMAScript standard. JScript is implemented as a Windows Script engine. This means that it can be plugged in to any application that supports the Windows Script host, such as Internet Explorer, Active Server Pages, etc. It also means that any application supporting Windows Script can use multiple languages — JScript, VBScript, Perl, and
