WshNamed Object 

Provides access to the named arguments from the command line.

Remarks

Wsh Named Object graphic

The Named property of the WshArguments object returns the WshNamed object, which is a collection of arguments that have names. This collection uses the argument name as the index to retrieve individual argument values. There are three ways to access sets of command-line arguments.

  • You can access the entire set of arguments (those with and without names) with the WshArguments object.

  • You can access the arguments that have names with the WshNamed object.

  • You can access the arguments that have no names with the WshUnnamed object.

Example

The following code displays the number of named and unnamed command-line arguments.

<package>

<job id="JS">

<script language="JScript">



var argsNamed = WScript.Arguments.Named;

var argsUnnamed = WScript.Arguments.Unnamed;



WScript.Echo("There are " + argsNamed.length + " named arguments.");

WScript.Echo("There are " + argsUnnamed.length + " unnamed arguments.");



</script>

</job>



<job id="VBS">

<script language="VBScript">



Dim argsNamed, argsUnnamed

Set argsNamed = WScript.Arguments.Named

Set argsUnnamed = WScript.Arguments.Unnamed



WScript.Echo "There are " & argsNamed.Count & " named arguments."

WScript.Echo "There are " & argsUnnamed.Count & " unnamed arguments."



</script>

</job>

</package>
