Re: WScript JavaScript library



So, yes,pantagruel, if you were to write this library, I'd like to
see parameter typing, handling wildcards, recursing through
directories, a wrapper around Exec and handlers for all the possible
return codes. I am not an advanced WScripter and don't wish to be so
you may have to go over to the microsoft forums to get a better
answer.


Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking:

1. some smarter command line handling, specify parsing of commandline
so that all files get put into a files object and then you can specify
run function x over all files on command line type stuff.

2. all major vbscript data type conversions supported (basically just
support this by having it in a WSF file with the vbscript functions to
return correct data types) good for handling stuff like WMI dates.

3. definitely filesystem recursing.

a question:

Do you think it would be useful to allow evaluation of JavaScript
code on the command line, i.e. run JavaScript in cscript.exe and allow
it to run as a shell?

Best Regards
