One does not imagine a language. One learns it by practice for a social language. But for a computer language, one learns it by reading its manual.

If you're using CScript, then:

cscript MyScript.vbs > MyOutput.txt

If you're using WScript then you need the file writing commands. Look at the example for TextStreamObject.

Hello Bobsakemano!

If you want to use the echo command to output to a text file, then you'll need to execute your script using the following syntax at a command line (or via the shell.run):

cscript.exe //E:VBScript //NoLogo script.vbs >>C:\test.txt

First, use cscript.exe and not wscript.exe. Cscript will put the echo output in the text file you specify, while wscript will display a popup box.

Second, "//E:VBScript" seems to be optional. I haven't seen any difference when I use this command or when I don't.

Third, the "//NoLogo" option makes sure that you get only the output from your program, and not added displays provided by cscript.exe. (Leave this out and see what happens!)

Finally, specify your output file. If you use one ">", then your output will always override an existing file. If you use two ">>", then your output will apend to the text file.

Good luck!
