Script that reads its own file name

[puforee]

I am looking for a VB script (vbs) that will open a file based on its own file name.

Like I would name the vbs file 3600. Inside, the scrip would read its own file name and set it as a constant. Then I could open a fliel like (the constant)&.pdf.

The total script will be more complicated but I need the script to read its own file name to be able to manipulate other files of differnt types but with the same file name.

I will provide an example if this is confusing.

Thanks - I am a bit of a novice.

Can you show me a little script using this.

Lets say Dim FN

FN = WScript.Echo WScript.ScripName

MsgBox FN

I am sure I have this messed up....please help.

Dim scriptName : scriptName = WScript.ScriptName
MsgBox scriptName

Thank you,

I really appreciate the help.

I will revise my main script to see if this works. (I assume it will)

Ah...one further question. I set the name to test.vbs and the message box said test.vbs---Great. Can I get rid of the .vbs?

Dim scriptName : scriptName = WScript.ScriptName
MsgBox Left(scriptName, Len(scriptName) - 4)
