Probably a very simple answer but.... 1

I have been trying to figure out how to call a vb script file and pass a parameter to it but the answer isn't jumping at me...

e.g.

appendtofile.vbs 'new entry to log'

Thanks in advance

Dim Sh
Set Sh = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
Sh.Run "appendtofile.vbs 'new entry to log'"

Sorry I don't think I could have explained the problem well enough..

I need to execute the script from a command prompt and pass it a parameter during its execution..

in a batch file I would have used a %1 %2 %3 type syntax to pull the first second and third parameters out of an execution string..

I.e. the batch file could have been called run.bat and you could execute it as..

run rob tom john

and the batch file would have been able to use rob, tom and john as parameters inside it's execution..
internal systax would look something like

echo %1
echo %2
echo %3

and the output would be

rob
tom
john


Is there some type of equivilant syntax in vbscript?

In the batch file:
cscript appendtofile.vbs 'new entry to log'
In the script file:
Dim argv,i
Set argv = WScript.Arguments
For i = 0 To argv.Count -1
WScript.Echo argv(i)
Next
