Use WScript.Echo "Hello" line only (remove other lines) and start the script in console using this command: cscript test.vbs.
VBscript write to command console

Hello everybody.
Can i run .vbs file in the command line and get there printed output?
I tried :
Dim StdOut : Set StdOut = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetStandardStream(1)
WScript.Echo "Hello"
WScript.StdOut.Write "Hello"
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine "Hello"
Stdout.WriteLine "Hello"
Stdout.Write "Hello"
Thanks for help.

Unfortunately, vbscript is currently not supported in the Q&A forums, the supported products are listed over here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/products (more to be added later on). Thank you for your understanding.

cscript.exe C:\MyScriptsFolder\MyScript.vbsIf you just type in the script name Windows will use the default which is wscript.exe. You can change that from an admin command prompt.
cscript.exe //H:CScript
