The Microsoft Windows Script Host ( WSH) (formerly named Windows Scripting Host) is an automation technology for Microsoft Windows operating systems that provides scripting abilities comparable to batch files, but with a wider range of supported features. This tool was first provided on Windows 95 after Build 950a on the installation discs as ...
A Windows Script File ( WSF) is a file type used by the Microsoft Windows Script Host. It allows mixing the scripting languages JScript and VBScript within a single file, or other scripting languages such as Perl, Object REXX, Python, or Kixtart if installed by the user. These types of scripts may also be used to link many other external ...
A Windows Script File (.wsf) is an XML file that can contain more than one script in more than one language in addition to other elements, and are executed by the Windows Script Host. [3] Some software such as SecureCRT use the WSH functionality to allow automation by means of any installed scripting engine.
When hosted by the Windows Script Host, VBScript provides numerous features which are common to scripting languages, but not available from Visual Basic 6.0. These features include: Named and unnamed command line arguments; Stdin and stdout, which could be redirected; WSH.Echo which writes to the console and cannot be redirected
Microsoft Script Debugger. Microsoft Script Debugger is relatively minimal debugger for Windows Script Host -supported scripting languages, such as VBScript and JScript. Its user interface allows the user to set breakpoints and/or step through execution of script code line by line, and examine values of variables and properties after any step.
JScript is implemented as an Active Scripting engine. This means that it can be "plugged in" to OLE Automation applications that support Active Scripting, such as Internet Explorer, Active Server Pages, and Windows Script Host. It also means such applications can use multiple Active Scripting languages, e.g., JScript, VBScript or PerlScript.
The different parts. WSH is made of 3 distinct parts: WScript.*. Automation classes (WScript.Shell and WScript.Network), available to all automation hosts, but adding much needed features to WSH. WScript.exe, the GUI WSH host. CScript.exe, the console WSH host. Both WScript.exe and CScript.exe includes a "WScript" object (aka "WSH", both names ...
Active Scripting (formerly known as ActiveX Scripting) is the technology used in Windows to bridge scripting engines like JScript, VBScript or ActivePerl and hosting applications like Internet Explorer, Active Server Pages, or third-party applications that implement a scripting host.
