The point of scripting-regardless of the language-is for automation.

I am not the type of person who wants to say that you should immediately change over VBScript to Windows PowerShell. I wrote three books about VBScript, and I had a lot of fun teaching VBScript classes all over the world when I was in MCS.

Speaking of refreshing, I believe you will find the way that Windows PowerShell handles files and folders a welcome change from the work you had to do in VBScript.įirst let me say that I do not hate VBScript. I added a combination spoonful of spearmint leaves, peppermint leaves, licorice root, rose hips, hibiscus, and a cinnamon stick to my pot while I steeped it for four minutes. This morning I am sipping a cup of English Breakfast tea. Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. Can you give me a push in the right direction? I am having a bit of trouble listing files in folders and in subfolders. What I am doing is when I need to make a change to an existing VBScript script, I attempt to use Windows PowerShell to do the same task. So, I am trying to learn Windows PowerShell. But after attending TechEd the last several years, it appears that Microsoft is moving away from VBScript, and is embracing Windows PowerShell. One reason I love VBScript so much is that, to me, it is easy to use. I love using VBScript, and I have done so for nearly 15 years. Hey, Scripting Guy! I am an old VBScript guy. Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to list files in folders and subfolders.
