A simple package to run VBS scripts from NodeJs.
NPM link: @el3um4s/run-vbs
To use the package in a project:
npm i @el3um4s/run-vbsand then in a file:
import { runVbs, runVbsFile } from "@el3um4s/run-vbs";
const vbs = `Wscript.Echo "hello world"`;
const result = await runVbs({ vbs });
console.log(result); // hello world
const file = "./test.vbs";
const fromFile = await runVbsFile({ vbs: file });
console.log(fromFile); // hello worldrunVbs(data: { vbs: string; args?: string[]; }): Promise<string>Run a VBS script and return the result.runVbsBuffer(data: { vbs: string; args?: string[]; }): Promise<string[]>Run a VBS script and return the result as a buffer.
import { runVbs } from "@el3um4s/run-vbs";
const vbs = `
set args = Wscript.Arguments
Dim name, surname
Dim count
count = WScript.arguments.count
if count = 0 then
name = ""
surname = ""
Wscript.Echo "hello world"
end if
if count = 1 then
name = args(0)
surname = ""
Wscript.Echo "hello" & " " & name & "!"
end if
if count = 2 then
name = args(0)
surname = args(1)
Wscript.Echo "hello" & " " & name & " " & surname & "!"
end if
`;
const result = await runVbs({
vbs,
});
console.log(result); // hello world
const result2 = await runVbs({
vbs,
args: ["John", "Doe"],
});
console.log(result2); // hello John Doe!runVbsFile(data: { vbs: string; args?: string[]; }): Promise<string>Run a VBS script and return the result.runVbsFileBuffer(data: { vbs: string; args?: string[]; }): Promise<string[]>Run a VBS script and return the result as a buffer.
import { runVbsFile } from "@el3um4s/run-vbs";
const result = await runVbsFile({
vbs: "./src/__tests__/test_no_output.vbs",
});
console.log(result); // hello world
const result2 = await runVbsFile({
vbs: "./src/__tests__/test_no_output.vbs",
args: ["John", "Doe"],
});
console.log(result2); // hello John Doe!There can be issues when the file path has a space.
