WSH in Other Languages - More Languages
(Page 5 of 5 )
WSH support for additional languages does not stop here by any means. I’ve only begun to show you the most common languages used by administrators. Virtually any COM-enabled language with support for Active Scripting can be used. Check the documentation for your favorite language. Most Windows installers will add support for your language if it is available.
Whether you’re looking to increase power and productivity, or simply wanting to use a language with which you are more comfortable, WSH provides a lot of flexibility for using additional languages.
This support is carried beyond simple code execution; once installed, these additional languages are available to WSH job files (WSF), Windows Script Components (WSC), and HTML Applications (HTA), and within Internet Explorer. For Vista users, this also means that your additional languages are available for Vista Sidebar gadgets as well.
That’s all the space I have for now. Be sure to stick around for the second part of this series when I show you how to use other common languages such as Object Rexx, KixStart, Ruby, and Perl. I’ll also show you how creating a special file association can simplify code execution in WSH. You won’t want to miss it. Until next time, keep coding!
