Thanks, but the link doesn't seem to match the version of VBScript that the emulator use.
All of the search results (that is relevant) is either a doc/manual for a specific software that uses VBScript as a part of it and/or is a form of VBScript that is an object oriented version. Which is not used/needed(?) in the emulator. The problem I'm having is partly very basic (as I'm ignorant in the matter), e g coding "If a not = b" is wrong, although "If not a = b" is right. Exactly such things seem to be lacking in most if the docs I read. And partly things like: 'str2 is "this is parm strings like,a no 1 xx,b no 2 yy,c no 3 zz" str1 = Split(str2,",",-1,1) str3 = str1(2) str4 = Split(str3," ",-1,1) ' Here str4(2) is NOT "2". 'In short, splitting strings in a result from an array (created by a split()) doesn't seem to work. (This is a simplyfied example.)
