Programming with VBScript

VBScript is a scripting language that is based on the Visual Basic programming language. It is primarily used to create simple scripts that automate tasks in Windows environments.

VBScript is a lightweight language that is easy to learn and use. It is commonly used to automate repetitive tasks, such as file manipulation, data processing, and system administration. It can be used to interact with Windows components, such as the registry, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), and Active Directory.

VBScript is an interpreted language, which means that it is executed directly by the OS without the need for a compiler. It can be run from the command line or embedded within other applications, such as Microsoft Excel or Internet Explorer.

VBScript is supported by all modern versions of Windows and is often used in combination with other scripting languages, such as PowerShell and Batch files.
