This script demonstrates the use of a function that allows a script to delete itself from disk. The function can be called from anywhere within the script and the script will continue to function normally (assuming the script does not further attempt to access itself on disk). Handy for homebrew uninstallation programs that require the removal of all installation files, including the setup file.

This script demonstrates the user of a procedure that forces the currently executing script to execute under the WScript scripting host. This forces the output from WScript.Echo statements to be displayed message box dialog. This functionality may be useful in situations where the default scripting host is set to cscript.exe and/or the programmer uses a common set of code to program for wscript.exe and cscript.exe.

Typical usage would see the ForceWScript procedure called at the beginning of a script.

This class uses reflection to locate option setters. Client class must contains methods setFile (to receive file names from the command line) and setOption### (to receive option ###).

This script demonstrates the user of a procedure that forces the currently executing script to execute under the CScript scripting host. This allows the output from WScript.Echo statements to be displayed in a command prompt dialog in a similar way to older style batch files, making this procedure ideal for batch processing.

Typical usage would see the ForceCScript procedure called at the beginning of a script.

Extendable command line processor for console applications.

This class illustrates mixed GUI/command line parameters passing. Any parameter may be specified in the command line. All unspecified parameters will be read using GUI dialog box.

I've found it kind of complicated to strip newline chars from a file with just the commandline. This tiny piece of code does just that.

I've found it especially useful when extracting tabulated data from a grabbed site where each cell is on a different html line. This way I can pre-filter the html, remove the newlines, and insert them again at register boundaries (row end in this case), so that with just a couple more replacement from within a regex enabled text editor I can copy&paste it directly to a database.

This script demonstrates the use of the Speech API via VBScript. Simply type in the word or phrase that you want to the computer to speak and click OK. Useful for vocalizing the results of a function or literally reading a text file to the user.

Note: To successfully run this code you MUST have the Speech API installed. The Speech API is installed during a complete Office install. If the required libraries are not present on your system, search Microsoft.com for the speech API SDK download. See this page for help on setting up Text To Speech: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306902/

This was an update someone else's snippet...
VBScript is a graceful language and Windows Scripting Host cleans up after itself, so this is a compact version for simple usage - reducing code bloat is what small scripts are for.

Just my $.02...

This is a great little script that you can put on a friend's flash drive. It won't do any harm to their computer...it's just funny to watch. Put these 2 files in the "root" of the flash drive, cd, or any type of media/external drive. When they plug it in it will run the autorun script which then runs the shutdown script and restarts their computer! You will get a few laughs out of it...guaranteed!
