batch-file Batch and JSCript hybrids Embedded JScript In a Batch File
Example
This following example is created by user Michael Dillon from this answer.
Consider the following script:
@set @junk=1 /*
@echo off
cscript //nologo //E:jscript %0 %*
goto :eof
*/
//JScript aka Javascript here
This script snippet does:
-
Execute the
cscriptcommand which calls itself with all the arguments provided. -
As the part after
@set @junk=1is commented(/*and*/Are valid JScript comment), -
JScript will ignore them.
-
Note: We need the
@set @junk=1part because the batch file does not recognize/*as a command, but asetstatement will be a workaround. JScript will recognize/*as a comment so the otherbatchfile will not be executed by JScript engine.
You can add your JScript after */ and start extending your batch file scripting!
