windows command line javascript

rated 0 times [ 127] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 33604 / 16 Years ago, thu, march 26, 2009, 12:00:00

I'm trying to run javascript from a windows command line via script

cscript //NoLogo test.js

However, I can't find any predefined objects which are available. I'm totally at a loss - Can't get hello world to work:

System.print(Hello, World!)

results in System is undefined

Is there another way I should be running this - like through .NET runtime?

Thanks

jeff

You are using the Windows Scripting Host.

You can say things like:

WScript.Echo(Hello, World.);

It's all COM-based, so you instantiate ActiveX controls to do anything useful:

var y = new ActiveXObject(Scripting.Dictionary);

y.add (a, test);

if (y.Exists(a))

   WScript.Echo(true);

Or:

var fso, f1;

fso = new ActiveXObject(Scripting.FileSystemObject);

// Get a File object to query.

f1 = fso.GetFile(c:\detlog.txt);   

// Print information.

Response.Write(File last modified:  + f1.DateLastModified);

See Windows Script Host.
