WScript.Shell Problem
Jan 31, 2007
Trying to open a file on a network drive when user clicks an HTML button on a web page. When page loads, there is an error that states there's an invalid character on the line where I declare my variable. When I click the button, the error changes to "Object expected" but is on a line nowhere near any scripting or any HTML code related to scripting. Does my code look correct or no?
And, yes my button is calling the function on the "onclick" and "filepath" from VB code does have a value when I do a view source on the page.
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function OpenFile(){
var x = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
x.run(<%=filepath %>);
}
</script>

Is it possible to encrypt/protect a source code of Javascript to be
run on WSCRIPT (not on a webpage)?

I want my (IE) Intranet users to be able to create a new Word document
based on a specified template.
The following works, but I would like to be able to pass the filename
as a parameter, as there are often multiple documents on the same page:
---------------Script Code Starts-------------
<script lang="Javascript1.2">
function NewDoc()
{
var oShell
oShell = new ActiveXObject ("WScript.Shell");
oShell.Run('cmd /K "C:Test.dot"', 0, false);
window.event.cancelBubble = true;
return false;
}
</script>
---------------Script Code Ends-------------
---------------Link Code Starts-------------
<a href=":" onclick="return NewDoc()">Create a new document based on
C:Test.dot</a>
---------------Link Code Ends--------------
I know to specify the document template name as follows:
---------------Link Code Starts-------------
<a href=":" onclick="return NewDoc('C:Test.dot')">Create a new
document based on C:Test.dot</a>
---------------Link Code Ends--------------
And change the "Function NewDoc()" in the script code to line to
"Function NewDoc(TemplateName)". The problem is that I don't know what
syntax to use to parametise the
"oShell.Run('cmd /K "C:Test.dot"', 0, false);"
line.

In Bourne shell, you can do:
case ($x) in
foo*)
;;
*bar)
;;
esac
so that the first case matches any string starting with "foo", the
second any string ending in "bar", etc. In Tcl, you can:
switch -glob $x {
"foo*" {
}
"*bar" {
}
}
and accomplish the same thing. I'm struggling to do that in
JavaScript. switch seems to follow C semantics and do a full-length
match. And String.match() doesn't seem to do glob-style matching so I
can't do:
if ($x.match("foo*")) {
...
Is there a way to match on patterns in a JavaScript control structure?

In Bourne shell, you can do
Code:
for x in `foo bar grill` ; do
echo $x
done
and in Tcl I can do:
Code:
foreach e in { foo bar grill} {
put $e
}
but in JavaScript, I end up doing:
Code:
var l = [ 'foo', 'bar', 'grill' ];
for (var i in l) {
var x = l[i];
... do something with x...
}
Is there an idiom for looping over a fixed list of things in JavaScript that doesn't require creating a var before the loop?
