A big thick one, so you can whack yourself on the head with it. Seriously, what level of hell are you in that you need to learn VBScript ?

VB SCRIPT?
I have the older version of this http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/vbscriptian2/[^]. I got it just to use as a reference, for picking up where the command shell leave off. Otherwise this site is great http://www.microsoft.com/scripting/[^] there is a ton of samples out there.
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

Why do you assume that anyone can start learning VBScript without a book?

I didn't assume any such thing, but it's true. MSDN has heaps of info, and you can always just bang your head against a wall.

Most people here are against VB, VBA, VBScript,... (me including :-D) For javascript you can take a look here: Javascript examples[^] and here Javascript reference[^] good luck, especially when you try to go the VB way ;P

humm, well true, for VB and JScript you don't really require a book to start learn, there are .chm files for jscript and vbscript installed in this folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\IDE\IDE98\MSE\1033 (VS 6, i am not sure about other Visual studio versions). And yes there are lot of info for other language too, and if you really search you could find .chm files of popular books. But I think a book is a book otherwise we would not have "sex for dummies" book :)

He doesn't - he's saying that you really, really, really don't want to learn VBScript :-)

I think you've completely misunderstood me. VBScript is a disaster that I wouldn't wish on anyone, all the more because I fear it means asp. That was my point.

I feel a flow of negative energy here towards vbscript. ;P Although I have to agree that VBScript is something you should avoid at all times, even if there's no other way to go.

Yes, I don't know why there is such rabid hostility here. Anyway, it doesn't seem good form when someone asks a question about it to just slag it off. There may be valid reasons for wanting to learn VBScript, e.g., maintaining a legacy ASP app., windows scripting host...

I thought my reply was still kind in comparison with some others... ;P

I wouldn't bash VBScript too hard. I wrote a little spy app in it where it would sit on a users machine and watch every single URL they put into an IE or Explorer window, then logged the activity by calling a remote script component on my machine. It was an interesting exercise in remotable components and very useful to collect data on srufing habits at work. What did I find?? :laugh: I'll never tell!
