Tips
In this section, I'm listing tips that didn't make it into the book.
If you have something to add to this list, some way to make life easier
and better, drop me a line in the guestbook and I'll post it here.
- Running Command Line Programs and Gathering the Output
I often want a script to run a command line program and gather its
output, which I then write to a file, display as the script's output, or
parse for information. I've found that WSH's "Exec" object is
fairly tricky to use. The
Downloads page has a script
example that shows one way I've solved this problem; the example works
whether the program generates one line or 10,000 lines of output.
