Copying a VBS variable in powershell?

02-28-2008

Afternoon Folks,

I have a question that I can't seem to find the awnser to. Is it
possible to copy the output of a wscript.echo in powershell? I have a
pretty large VBS that I don't have the time to convert right now. And
I am looking for a way to take the wScript.echo and past it into
Powershell. I get exactly what I want from the script and can launch
Powershell from the script aswell. Now I need to merge the 2.
Wscript outputs to its box and I want to take what is in the box and
copy it to the PS command line. Is this even possible?

Thanks for any input

Daryl

You can also remove the logo if you so choose .....

PS (1) > $ScriptOutput = cscript //nologo "C:\temp\EchoSomething.vbs"
PS (2) > $ScriptOutput
Something
PS (3) >
