run a macro file ( .vbs)

Post by doctornikesh » 29 Jun 2015, 22:07

I am newbie in computer programming world, I am a physician trying to cut my time in documentation and gathering data. I have created bunch of VBS macros using a program called openwebtst.

I was wondering how could I trigger a macro with VBS extension using your quickstart.lua file,I replaced "notepad" with,"cmd"
and "C:\\test.txt" with current path of my VBS file. But it just opens the command prompt with current directory in windows 7 . Please help.

I don't know much about .vbs (Visual Basic scripts?) - but I think you'd need to run cscript or wscript instead of cmd.

Google for example "run vbs script" or even "run vbs from lua"

Thanks for all the replies, Xupicor, your advice for using wscript worked.
