Hello.
How do I run a vbscript file (.vbs) from a batch file? I tried just entering
C:\Documents and Settings\Andy G\Desktop\Test.vbs
in the Batch file, but no joy.
Thanks, Andy.

Re: Run script from batch
I've never done it - but certainly (at least) you need to surround the entire line with double-quotes...
Code: Select all
"C:\Documents and Settings\Andy G\Desktop\Test.vbs"John Gray

Great "and simple", thanks.
A similar question, how can I run an application from a (vb) script?
I tried
Shell "Notepad.Exe"
but it doesn't work - I can use Shell directly from MS Excel, so why not vbscript?
Thanks again. Andy.

Re: Run script from batch
I think you need to start it with wscript.exe or cscript.exe; your batch file would look something like
@echo off
wscript.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\Andy G\Desktop\Test.vbs"
@echo off
wscript.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\Andy G\Desktop\Test.vbs"
