#123334 - 2004-07-20 11:56 AM Call VbScript From KixTart
Jason_Baron Jason_Baron Lurker Registered: 2004-07-20 Posts: 2	Hi, I am new to KixTart and struggling already!!! I have a parent.kix (Kix Script) that I run and want to call child.vbs (VBScript). child.vbs needs to access a variable declared in parent.kix (or indicate success/failure in some way). Am I correct in thinking that: 1) Using Call to invoke child.vbs will not work because Call expects Kix and not vbs? At the moment I have a msgbox command in the child.vbs that is causing problems. 2) I can use Call but would need to convert my child.vbs to child.kix - i.e. write child.vbs in Kix and not vbs? OR Use shell to call child.vbs and use wscript.quit 'n' to set a return value. In parent.kix I would need to use @ERROR to interogate the return value. Is any of the above true or I have just not understood the concepts at all? regards, Jason

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Jason, first of all it's KiXtart not KixTart your assumptions: 1) Correct ! 2) see 1 you can do it by SHELL (waits for execution) or RUN (continues with Kixtart script) eg: shell 'wscript.exe yourscript.vbs [arguments]' where [arguments] might be one of your KiX variables you might set the exit value of the vbscript to anything you want and see if @error gets set (don't know exactly) There is of course always the possibility to drop vbscript completely and rewrite those scripts for KiXtart Hope this helps Edited by Jochen (2004-07-20 12:15 PM) _________________________

DemoDog DemoDog Fresh Scripter Registered: 2009-08-20 Posts: 9 Loc: Washington DC	h'mm .. can I jump in after declaring my self as a newbie? Set WSHNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") WSHNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\pserver1\6thFloorFieldCrew1" I'd sorely luv to convert this to a kix script. I located and d/l'ed the UDF vbs2kix , but kix32 vbs2kix fieldcrew1.vbs fieldcrew1.kix returns; ERROR : IDispatch pointers not allowed in expressions! Script: fieldcrew1.vbs Line : 7 atb Edited by DemoDog (2009-08-20 09:20 PM) _________________________ If Stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out? Will Rogers

This is especially true for venerable threads like this one which dates back to 2004 and should be left to rest in the peace that it has earned. As regards your question, what's wrong with the KiXtart AddPrinterConnection() built-in function? [edit] I see that you have opened a new thread, thanks. [/edit]
