Description

XML element that contains script to define the behavior of a Windows Script component.

Syntax

<script language="language" [src="strFile"]>
     script here
</script>

Parameters

Part	Description
language	The name of the scripting language used in the Windows Script component file, such as Microsoft Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript) or Microsoft JScript®.
strFile	The name of the script file to include into the <script> block.

Remarks

If XML validation is not enabled, the XML parser ignores all lines inside the <script> element. However, if XML validation is enabled by including the <?XML ?> declaration at the top of the script component file, the XML parser can misinterpret greater than (>), less than (<), and other symbols used in script as XML delimiters.

If you are creating a file that conforms closely to XML syntax, you must ensure that characters in your script element are not treated as XML-reserved characters. To do this, enclose the actual script in a <![CDATA[ ... ]]> section.

Note: Do not include a CDATA section unless you also include the <?XML ?> declaration.

Example

The following example incorporates two jobs into one .wsf file using two different scripting languages:

<package>

<job id="DoneInVBS">
<?job debug="true"?>
<script language="VBScript">
	WScript.Echo "This is VBScript"
</script>
</job>

<job id="DoneInJS">
<?job debug="true"?>
<script language="JScript">
	WScript.Echo("This is JScript"); 
</script>
</job>

</package>
