Hello Forum! 

 

I have been working on a project where it involves working of VBS as well as TCL. And before running the main logic in the TCL I want to run the VBS file from TCL using EXEC command but it was throwing some kind of error. I have a constraint of not using the batch file to run both the scripts individually. 

When I did a search on the internet I found that CScript or Wscript should be helping but while working with this command, it was of no help.

Can someone share the approach of solving this issue.

 

thanks and regards,

Brahmadev.

    This was the exact set of code I have tried in TCL but it was of no help.

     

    So i was just wondering do I need to install any external packages !

    Have you tried the following : 

     exec cmd.exe /k '<vbs file path>'

    Hey Roshan, thanks for the response....

    Actually I won't be having permissions to access the CMD  on my machine due to security. :mellow:/emoticons/default_mellow.png' title=':mellow:' />

    Sure, if security is restricted you cannot run the interp

     

    How's about exec cscript.exe ? What is error?

    Hello guys,

     

    Thanks for your response.

     

    Actually, the cscript was working perfectly, thing was I didn't keep a reference file as input for the VBS file because of which error has occurred.

     

    Thanks and regards,

    Brahmadev.
