No, you can't directly run VBScript from within a cfm file. You can,
however, write a Windows Script Host file in VBScript, and run that through
CFOBJECT (if your script file is a Windows Script Component) or via the
command line with CFEXECUTE.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but if you're simply trying to generate
comma- or tab-delimited text, you can do this very easily from within CF.
Here's an example:
