Other
WSH sites
Below are links to free websites maintained by serval people around the world to support WSH scripting.
Ian Morrish's WSH Web site
http://www.windows-script.com/
This is one of the first and one of the most valuable
(private) WSH scripting sites, maintaed by Ian Morrish (working
for Glazier, a small company located in New Zealand). Ian
is one of the Gurus contributing to the WSH newsgroup.
His WSH website contains WSH news letters,
a WSH FAQ list with many helpful tips, a
download page for scripts, some
discussions groups and more.
C. Washington's Win32 Scripting page
http://cwashington.netreach.net
A web site I may not forget to mention here (and
which you MUST VISIT) is maintained by Clearance
Washington. Clearance is (beside Ian Morrish) the other
person frequently contributing to the WSH newsgroup. His
site contains a download area (the script
repository), offering tons of scripts written in
different language from many people around the world.
Clearance undertook to task to collect them and offer
them at a single place for download. This site contains
also links to other WSH sources in the net (like links to
the newest tools within the Microsoft sites). And
Clearance began to moderate a discussion lounge
within his site, containing many questions, answers and
contributions about WSH stuff.
Daren's WSH JScript Site
http://www.winscripter.com
Daren Thiel begun in 1999 to create a web page
containing JScript samples. This page is helpful, if you
look for the names of COM objects (like "Word.Application").
Also nice samples demonstrating how to use Office and
other COM objects from scripts.
15 seconds
http://www.15seconds.com/issue/991007.htm
A site dealing with valid programmer information.
German sites
Windows Scripting
www.windows-scripting.de
Site von Dr. Holger Schwichtenberg (Autor mehrerer bei Addison Wesley erschienener Scripting-Titel), die sich mit WSH-Scripting (Script-Bibliothek, FAQ, WMI-Klassenreferenz etc.) befasst. Alleine die von Holger zusammengestellte Linkliste ist schon einen Besuch wert. Zudem enthält die Seite Scripting-Tools und informiert über Schulungen, die der Autor zum Thema abhält.
Scriptinternals
www.scriptinternals.de
Site von Dr. Tobias Weltner (Autor mehrerer Scripting Bücher), auf dem auch der von Tobias entwickelte Script-Editor (SystemScripter) zu finden ist. Interessant: Der Editor bietet bereits eine Funktion, mit der sich WSH-Scripte mit einem Zertifikat signieren lassen. Erlaubt die Absicherung von Windows mit WSH 5.6 gegenüber WSH-Script-Viren (siehe mein Beitrag zur Skriptsicherheit hier im WSH-Bazaar sowie die Ausführungen im MS Press-Titel Inside Windows Script Host, 3. Auflage).
Dieseyer.de
dieseyer.de
Scripting Site von Dieter Seyer mit einigen
Skripten. Enthält eine gute Linkliste zu
deutschsprachigen Scripting Sites.
Vendor sites
Below are links to websites from vendors offering additional components helpful for WSH scripters.
PrimalSCRIPT Web Site
http://www.sapien.com
This is a MUST VISIT PAGE for a real WSH scripter.
Sapien offers PrimalSCRIPT, a script
editor developed to fit the needs of script developers.
Sapien offers a 30-Day-Trial version for download.
Currently there is version 2.0 available, but they are
working on a new version with many new features (wow!).And
they had a »Script Exchange« section where script
programmers can exchange scripts for several hosts and
distinct languages (not even JScript and VBScript, also
Pearl, Tcl and so on).
Catalyst web site
www.catalyst.com
Catalyst Development, offering Socket-Tools as
ActiveX controls for Windows Sockets programming.
Containing valid info about TCP/IP programming.
ScriptX web page
http://www.meadroid.com/scriptx/
ScriptX is a control which supports also a couple of
other neat methods for the script programmer. You can use
this control for event sinks (this means: external events
may be passed to the WSH script). The control provided
many features to show dialogs and other function. Also
the control can be used to bring JScript closer to
VBScript (a method can be called, and then you can check
whether a run-time error has occured). The specs for
ScriptX may be found also on this web page.
