By default, the WSH provides support for VBScript and JScript. VBScript is a scripting language that consists of a subset of the Visual Basic programming language. JScript is Microsoft’s WSH-compatible version of Netscape’s JavaScript scripting language. In addition, you can use third-party WSH-compatible scripting languages that allow the WSH to run scripts written in the Perl, Python, and REXX scripting languages. Unlike Windows shell scripts, these other scripting languages involve learning how to use language-specific statements and commands, many of which are not very Windows like.
ECHO. ECHO. Collecting Player Responses The script now needs to display the Knock Knock! message and collect the player’s response. This is accomplished by adding the following line of code to the script: SET /p reply="Knock Knock! C:>" This statement uses the Windows SET command to display the Knock Knock! message followed by the characters C:>, which are supposed to simulate the Windows prompt and make the player feel like he is still interacting with the command prompt when in fact he is communicating with your script.
2 The Windows command console’s title bar message is also changed. 3 Foreground and background colors are changed as well. Command Shell Command Syntax The Windows shell provides an interface for working with text-based commands and utilities. In addition, you will use it to run your Windows shell scripts. Integrated into the Windows shell is the Windows shell scripting language. This scripting language includes a large number of statements. Each Windows command has its own unique syntax that must be followed strictly for the command to work.
