Very nicely done!

[bkemmler]

can it goes from autoit to VB as well?

because although I dont know vb I do know autoIT and VB is necessary for some things

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No it is only converting from VBScript to AutoIt.

Everything you want to do with VBScript should be possible with AutoIt

[GaryFrost]

Thought it could use a little gui interface, this was quick and dirty

Thanks for the GUI. I will include it in the next version. At the moment it is faster for the testing to just use test.vbs.

[MSLx Fanboy]

Wow am I slow, I just realized that i need the commands.txt file as well

Also, are there plans to automatically change the variable into the $variable_name format?

[steve8tch]

Can I throw a spanner in to the works.....

I just found a relatively simple vbs script to do a test.

The converted script still needs alot of work done to make it usable in Aut3.

Am I doing it right!

I wasn't too sure what I was supposed to do with the commands.txt

Here is my test vbs script - can you check if it works OK for you.

I was working on my own script, and the WScript.Echo wasn't being translated...I don't know if it was just my script or...

You are right. With this kind of script it will have problems. The actual version needs DIM's for the variables.

[bkemmler]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

There is no command like WScript.Echo in AutoIt. And if you do not want to use WSH, it is not a good idea to use the WScript object.

[bkemmler]

Wow am I slow, I just realized that i need the commands.txt file as well

Also, are there plans to automatically change the variable into the $variable_name format?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

If you use the DIM command in VBScript it is working already.

Version 0.2 Release

[ptrex]

Hello,

Downloaded the new version and ran it with AutoIT version 3.1.1.41 Alpha.

But nothing happenes ?

When running the VACONVERT.AU3 I expected a Gui to come up, is that correct ?

[MSLx Fanboy]

i believe right now it only converts a file called 'test.vbs' located in the scripts directory.

As for WScript.Echo, can't you just do 'MsgBox(0, "", $variable)'?

Edited June 6, 2005 by MSLx Fanboy

[ptrex]

This script might be useful.

But untill there is no readme file, explaining on how to use it, it is NOT useful.

Hopefully more help is on the way.

There is a gui now available. I hope this helps.

[bkemmler]

Version 0.3 can be downloaded

[ptrex]

@bkemmler

Thanks for the new version. Now help file needed anymore since the GUI runs OK.

I tested a VBscript which should show the OS version of your system.

The converion was done 95 % OK.

Which is a pretty good job.

The only thing you need to build in into you conversion is the translation from Wscript.Echo -> Msgbox to show the output.

At the moment there is no output after the conversion.

Vbscript :
'Returns the name and version number of the operating system installed on a computer.

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems
    Wscript.Echo objOperatingSystem.Caption & " " & _
        objOperatingSystem.Version
Next

AuITScript:
;Returns the name and version number of the operating system installed on a computer.

$strComputer = "."
 $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & $strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
 $colOperatingSystems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For $objOperatingSystem in $colOperatingSystems
;VA  Wscript.Echo $objOperatingSystem.Caption & " " & _
        $objOperatingSystem.Version()
Next


SEE COMMENT;VA where there has been no translation done !!

This should have been :

Msgbox(0, "VBScript to AutoIt Converter v0.3", $objOperatingSystem.Caption & " " & $objOperatingSystem.Version())

I hope this feedback helps you improving.

It only needs a little bit extra tweaking.

Keep up the good work !!

[GaryFrost]

Personally I would rather the WScript.Echo get converted to ConsoleWrite.

[ptrex]

@gafrost

@bkemmler

The explanation in the help, of the ConsoleWrite is :

Writes data to a stream that text editors can SOMETIMES read.

- The first reason whu this should not be shosen is of the SOMETIMES possibility.

If you like this option VBscript has an other command that produces output to

console. This command should than be translated to ConsoleWrite.

- The second reason not to choose this is, that not an exact conversion of how the

behaviour was in VBscript
