The script is called tomp4.vbs ToMP4 file Ĭonvert the given file(s) to mp4 format. Naturally, I threw together a script to act as a front end to divxengine.exe. I have been converting a pile of old avi videos to mp4 (so that I could use them with my Chromecast device). So far it has only shown up in one specific case. If StrComp(Wscript.ScriptName,"ExecCmd.vbs",vbTextCompare) = 0 Then

This will terminate the shell on completion. When executing dos shell commands (cmd) you should always specify /c as an option.

#Vbscript print to stdout code#
As long as you ensure that any file you Include this code into has a different name then the test code will not be executed. If you execute the file ExecCmd.vbs by itself then the test code will run. Wscript.ScriptName returns the unqualified (no path) name of the currently executing script. This is something I borrowed from Python. If StrComp(Wscript.ScriptName,"execcmd.vbs",vbTextCompare) = 0 Then This allows the calling routine to handle both cases with a For Each loop.Īt the end of the listing you will see a block that looks like ''Test code ' The Split("") hand,es the case when StdOut returns no text. If Len(sout) > 0 Then sout = Split(sout,vbLf): Else: sout = Split(""): End If The following code will split output in either format into an array of lines. Most StdOut text will have lines terminated by vbCrLf, however, some programs ported from Unix/Linux, or output resulting from an operation of an odd text file, may return lines delimited only by vbLf. I find it more convenient to real all of the output at once like set wso = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") You can read it line by line in a loop like Do Until For that you read the text from the standard output stream. Set exe = wso.Exec("cmd /c dir /s /b d:\temp\*.jpg") As it turns out this is easily done by set wso = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") b somefolder\*.jpgĪnd capture the resulting output. It would be far easier to just be able to do dir /s. While not that complex it is still not trivial. To do that using the Scripting.FileSystemObject you would have to write a recursive routine that would enumerate all of the files in the given folder of that type, then call itself for each subfolder in the given folder. Let's say you want to generate a list of all of the files of a particular type in a given folder, and all subfolders. As such, you can take advantage, for example, of the increased flexibility of all of the built in commands available in a command shell. This method gives you access to the standard input, output, and error streams.

However, if you want something a little more complex there is the Exec method of the same object. When you want to execute an external program for a particular result (such as resizing an image, as shown in a previous snippet) you can simply use the Run method of the Wscript.Shell object.
