Hi...

Just to make a query here...

Is there any BETTER way to pass variable from batch to VBScript and back to batch instead of USING temp.txt?
As batch cannot perform decimal point calculation, therefore i need VBScript to help up that part.
As i still perfer batch coding, so dun wish to leave batch and do everything in VBScript.

I heard about pipe, but can't find much info about that.
I make an example here, see anyone can help...

Set /A Total=1000
Set /A Failed=30

Need to sent these info from Batch Main.bat to VBScript PercentageCalc.vbs
Then return the 3.0% back to Batch but should be as string i guess, else i will loss the .0 in batch.

My VER Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]Code: [Select]Dim Total,Failed,Sum
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
Total=objArgs(0)
Failed=objArgs(1)
WScript.Echo "Total " ,Total
WScript.Echo "Failed ", Failed
Sum=CDbl(Total) + CDbl(Failed )
WScript.Quit(Sum)
'or use Wscript.Echo Sum
save as filename.vbs. Then invoke from batch
Code: [Select]c:\> cscript /nologo filename.vbs 3000 1000
c:\> echo %ERRORLEVEL%
from batch, catch the return using errorlevel ( for Quit method) .
If you use the Wscript.Echo method in vbscript, see here on how to catch it in batch using for loop.Hi, thanks for your prompt reply,
I have tried it with this, please correct me if i am wrong...

I have created 2 files in C:\ Directory.

Filename: Filename.vbs

Dim Total,Failed,Sum
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
Total=objArgs(0)
Failed=objArgs(1)
WScript.Echo "Total " ,Total
WScript.Echo "Failed ", Failed
Sum=CDbl(Total) + CDbl(Failed )
WScript.Quit(Sum)
'or use Wscript.Echo Sum

Filename: Filename.bat

@echo off
cscript /nologo @echo off

cscript /nologo "c:\filename.vbs" 3000 1000
echo %errorlevel%

Pauses 3000 1000
echo %errorlevel%
Pause

It works fine, thanks a lot.
However, i have another minor issue here,
If i am using a division like 1000/3000, i can't get the 33.3333... results, any clue?


For the Echo method, my code are as below,

Filename: Filename.vbs

Dim Total,Failed,Sum
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
Total=objArgs(0)
Failed=objArgs(1)
WScript.Echo "Total " ,Total
WScript.Echo "Failed ", Failed
Sum=CDbl(Total) + CDbl(Failed )
Wscript.Echo Sum

Filename: Filename.bat

@echo off
for /f "tokens=*" %%i IN ('cscript /nologo c:\filename.vbs') do (
echo %%i
)

Any reason why it won't work?
Got this error
c:\filename.vbs(3, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Subscript out of range
