I was originally using some VBScript code from Antonin Foller: Base64 Encode VBS Function and Base64 Decode VBS Function. Searching Antonin’s site, I saw he had some code for quoted printable encoding, using the CDO.Message object, so I tried that. Finally, I ported the code mentioned in Mark’s answer to VBScript (also used some code … Read more
From the documentation: The FSO can read only ASCII text files. You cannot use the FSO to read Unicode files or to read binary file formats such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. Since you got weird characters, I guess that’s somewhat incorrect and the file was read in some 8-bit windows code page because … Read more
Eric Lippert has a great article on using parentheses in VBScript: What do you mean “cannot use parentheses?” Your example illustrates one of the points he mentions, namely: enclosing a ByRef argument in parentheses passes it as ByVal. In short, parentheses in VBScript subroutine calls can be put not only around the argument list, but … Read more
While @helen’s answer is correct it is a bit sparse. It details the Err.Raise() method but misses out some key points. From the original question However, is there some way I can generate my own errors? For example if one of my functions is passed the wrong type of parameter I’d rather my script just … Read more
VBScript’s While loops don’t support early exit. Use the Do loop for that: num = 0 do while (num < 10) if (status = “Fail”) then exit do num = num + 1 loop
From microsoft Sorting arrays in VBScript has never been easy; that’s because VBScript doesn’t have a sort command of any kind. In turn, that always meant that VBScript scripters were forced to write their own sort routines, be that a bubble sort routine, a heap sort, a quicksort, or some other type of sorting algorithm. … Read more
ping also has an option in Windows: -S srcaddr Source address to use. So you can do something like ping 10.10.10.1 -l 0 -S 192.168.1.1 where 10.10.10.1 is the destination address and 192.168.1.1 is the address of the source adapter
The & operator does string concatenation, that is, forces operands to be converted to strings (like calling CStr on them first). +, in its turn, forces addition if one of the expressions is numeric. For example: 1 & 2 gives you 12, whereas 1 + 2 “1” + 2 1 + “2” give you 3. … Read more
No. Unfortunately, you have to do: value = value + 1
