Run Script options
- Script file name
The script file is a standard text file that contains the script commands. The file name can have any extension, but.txtis used by default for ease of editing with Notepad. - Script description
This field can contain any descriptive text you like. Its purpose is to briefly describe the function of the script. - Script language
Windows Script provides two script engines, Visual Basic® Scripting Edition and Microsoft JScript®.
VBScript - A variation of Visual Basic or VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) used in MS Word and Excel. This language is easy to learn and has a rich feature set. See the Microsoft website for more information on VBScript.
JScript - A variation of JavaScript and ECMAScript used in Microsoft's Internet Explorer for web-client scripting. See the Microsoft website for more information on JScript.
Both languages offer similar functionality and speed, so the choice on which to use is up to personal preference. However, we have found through our tests that if your script is performing mainly string manipulation then JScript appears to be faster in most cases.
It is also possible to add additional scripting languages such as Perl or Python. To do this, you will need to install the Active Scripting engines for any new languages that you want to script in. See the PerlScript website or the Python website for more information. To download and for further information on ActiveScriptRuby, check out the Ruby website.
