Emulating of WSH

To make it easy migrate already existing scripts written for WSH to HippoEDIT scripts, or just simplify your learning curve with HippoEDIT scripting, HippoEDIT provides limited emulation of WSH objects and methods.
Explicitly there are following objects:

• WScript (IWScript),
• TextStream (IWshTextStream) and
• Arguments (IWshArguments)
• rest of objects can be created with help of WScript.CreateObject

Following methods are not supported:

• WScript.ConnectObject
• WScript.DisconnectObject
• WScript.Arguments.ShowUsage

Here is simple example that demonstrate emulation:

wscript.js

var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
var WshExec = WshShell.Exec("cmd /c dir c:\\"); 
 
while (!WshExec.StdOut.AtEndOfStream) 
        WScript.Echo( WshExec.StdOut.ReadLine() );	
 
WScript.Echo(WScript.Fullname + ", v:" + WScript.BuildVersion);
WScript.Echo("Hi one");
WScript.Quit(); 
WScript.Echo("Hi two"); // this should not be executed

After execution inside of HippoEDIT (Tools→Execute→wscript.js) you will get following text in Output Window:

 Volume in drive C is SYSTEM\\
 Volume Serial Number is 4487-D7CB\\
