JScript isn't the same as JavaScript, is it? Is the syntax of JScript similar to VBScript? :undecided:

PHP and VBS are pretty different... I keep using PHP coding style when writing VBS and then it doesn't work... :rolleyes:

O.P.
That's always the same problem you know.... flexibility against reliability. For now, I think I'll restrict it to the two VBScript and JScript languages. The main reason being that when people are going to start distributing their scripts, I want to ensure that any script potentialy work everywhere. Else, a lot of people will be confused bewcause they won't even know what Perl is... well, I may change my mind.... we shall see :)

WDZ: do not worry, I'll give plenty of samples along with my MP2. As I said, I plan to recode most of my software using the scripts. However, I'm not a VBS or JS expert myself so don't hesitate to report me strange things that you might see in the scripts I distribute. The beta period will be for that.

Well, I'm leaving for home soon. This we is a programming we. My girl friend has already been notified so MP2 is on track, for real! ;)

JScript is JavaScript (or MS's version, with the occasional extra feature), nothing too different - most people use the terms interchangeably, and can't tell the difference between them.

VBScript is not in any way like JScript in syntax terms (compare C++/Java with Visual Basic, it's pretty much the same gap), but they are the same semantically (meaning wise), so once you know one the second shouldn't be too hard to pick up, and its quite easy to port between them (very easy if its VBScript -> JScript).

If its going to be limited to VBScript and JScript then you'll need to pick a version, there are some qwerks with some versions that destroy reverse compatibility (IE 5 has a bug in JScript that 'undefined' is undefined, but not in IE 4 or 5.5 or 6), and newer features in VBScript (Eval, Class) are only in newer versions.

Can't you learn VBS? It's easy... I already made my own pretty cool temperature converter script and I've never used this language before... :grin:

Then don't learn VBS, learn JScript - it looks more like Perl (it has the whole {} thing going on), has regular expressions (not as good as Perl, but useable), and doesn't have annonymous variables passed around the place (you must hate that with Perl - I do). VBS is however easier to learn as a first language, but both of them are much easier than Perl.
