Read a file name as an argument when running script. Yas <yasar1[ at ]gmail.com> 6/28/2007 7:24:52 PM Hello, I have a VBscript that processes data in a file given in a certain format. Till now I've been hardwiring the file name at the top of the script BUT... How can I change the script so that it expect a filename as an argument when its initiated eg cscript Script.vbs filename.txt And to display a simple message on the command prompt if its run without the file argument. showing the Usage of the script. Many thanks for any help or advise :-)
