Outlook forms, and automating repetitive tasks using Windows Script Host
(WSH). VBScript in a Nutshell, Second Edition delivers current and
complete documentation for programmers and system administrators who
want to develop effective scripts.Completely updated for VBScript 5.6,
WSH 5.6 and ASP 3.0, VBScript In a Nutshell, Second Edition includes
updated introductory chapters that will help you keep current with the
significant changes since the first edition was published. New chapters
introduce the Windows Script Component for creating binary COM
components, and the Script Encoder.The main part of the book is a
comprehensive reference focusing on VBScript essentials with an
alphabetical reference to all statements, keywords and objects, and a
section of notes and solutions to real-world gotchas--various
undocumented behaviors and aspects of the language--to help you avoid
potential problems. Each entry in the reference section details the
following:
- The keyword's syntax, using standard code conventions
- A list of arguments accepted by the function or procedure, if any
exist
- A discussion of how and where the keyword should be used within the
scripting environment
- A discussion of the differences between the operation of the keyword
in Visual Basic or VBA and in VBScript
Regardless of your level of experience programming with VBScript,
VBScript in a Nutshell, Second Edition is the book you'll want by your
side--the most complete, up-to-date, and easy-to-use language reference
available.
