About this title

From the Publisher

Based on the bestselling VBScript in a Nutshell, this small book details every VBScript language element--every statement, function, and object--both in VBScript itself and in the Microsoft Scripting Runtime Library. Entries are arranged alphabetically by topic. In addition, appendixes list VBScript operators and VBScript intrinsic constants. The VBScript Pocket Reference is the consummate quick reference for writing scripts with VBScript.
